Don’t Die In The Woods – It’ll Ruin Your Day!

Survival Schools and Courses

Here at Tips For Survival we pride ourselves in offering the best information around for you, whatever your interest, so long as it has to do with enjoying your time and surviving safely in the great outdoors.

We learn from each other. Here is a list of selected survival schools and courses from across the United States where you can, indeed, learn from others. And because an integral part of our interest is very personal and individual, different sorts of schools and courses will appeal to different individuals.

We therefore make no claims or recommendations for any of these facilities - they are simply listed here for your convenience. After that, you are on you own. But then, isn't this what survival skills are all about?

 Bushcraft & Earth Skills
Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter Semesters
Practical Wilderness Survival Courses

Greetings! We're a full-time, professional bushcraft school and traditional north woods guide service located on the border of New Hampshire and Maine. Unlike the large, national outdoor schools, our focus isn't on traveling through the wilderness as an outsider or tourist using high-tech gear as an umbilical cord back to town. Instead we teach traditional bushcraft skills and nature lore that immerse you into the bush without a buffer, through which you learn that you're an active part of the natural world, not an observer.
