Wilderness Survival Skills - Bethel
2025-07-12 09:00 - 13:00 | Mahoosuc Land Trust Valentine Farm Conservation Center, 162 North Road, Bethel, 04217, United States
Maine is home to an estimated 17.52 million acres of forest land covering 89 percent of the State and boasts the highest percentage of forest cover in any state in the US. Combine that with access to remote and rugged sections, thousands of miles of trails and waterways, and often limited or nonexistent cell coverage and you not only have access to unspoiled wilderness, but the responsibility to be prepared for the unexpected. Hunting, fishing, paddling, hiking, and other outdoor pursuits are around every corner and knowing how to thrive in the woods and having the experience to survive an unplanned night or two is important, if not critical.
In this Workshop we will cover:

Trip Planning – Staying Found
Dressing for Success – Layering
S.T.O.P. (Stop, Think, Observe, Plan)
The Order of Survival
How to build a simple shelter
Fire building skills
Ways to find and purify water
Finding and preparing food
Signaling for help
Compass basics
Taking a bearing and how to follow it
GPS basics

Whether you are new to the outdoors, or looking to brush up on some survival skills, this workshop will be a fun and engaging way to be more prepared. All students will leave with a survival whistle, and more information about hunter education and other programs that will further your knowledge of the Maine outdoors.
