    I am interested...

    I know you need to learn survival skills for all year round, but I am just saying it would be a lot nicer to do if it wasn't 100+ out

    It will most certainly be in cooler weather...but with information on dealing with heat.

    When I went through, it would rain during the day and snow at night!! I have NEVER been so cold in my life. My body hurt after 5 days of solid shivering. It was GREAT training...and the area was beautiful. Even the resistance training was sort of fun.

    Pencil me in, and my son. He could use the extra info that I haven't already taught him. Good bonding experience for those with sons.

    Seems like there is plenty of interest to move to the next step.

    I will start a list of folks who want on board, talk to the instructor and find out exactly how many folks he wants.

    Is there anything particular you guys are interested in learning?

    I'd say maybe survival within the desert, plants, things to look for, general First aid, What to keep with you at all times, locating food/water, Animals/bugs.

    Desert hazard awareness, trip preparation essentials (what to bring), and water location are my top picks

    Just a suggestion here but if you hold off on going under the knife in a "hospital" this could give us some great field surgery experience.:)
