[Survival School] The Human Path

[ArielT]

So, there's a survival school from San Antonio that's opening up another location fairly near me / Austin. I attended a BBQ to promote the new campus and I think I might take the basic class and see where it goes. Actually really interested in the herbalism and tracking too.

Here's some info from their site, Clockwork my old friend...

The core courses are the heart of the THP curriculum. These outdoor education classes cover the full spectrum of skills needed to survive and thrive in the woods and with the earth, regardless of adverse conditions. The first two levels of the core course (Basic and Level 1) are an introduction to the full, wide spectrum of THP curriculum. These courses introduce many of the skills as those skills relate to the concept of specialties.

After Level 1 is completed, Level 2 focuses specifically on only one specialty of the student's choice, adding more skills, knowledge and a lot of practice in this specific area, but most importantly offering a chance to fully practice these skills with some stress and scenario thrown in. Level 3 then pulls together a full team to learn and train together with many stressors present (hunger, sleep deprivation, thirst, anxiety, security, etc.).

Location (Class Calendar) The Human Path Texas Classes are taught in several locations around Northwest San Antonio (Helotes), North San Antonio (just south of Bulverde/46), and Austin (various locations). Survival treks take place in West TX, South TX and Central TX.

The primary teaching facility for the THP ecology-related courses is a 50-acre, wooded area that is about 25 miles north of downtown San Antonio, Texas, or about 15 miles north of the San Antonio airport, and about a 70 minute drive from central Austin, Texas.

Classes are also sometimes taught at the Helotes Creek Nature Center, in Helotes, TX (just NW of San Antonio), and on a 4,000 acre ranch that is also just outside (NW) of San Antonio, Texas.

Additionally, classes are sometimes held at a large acreage about 30 minutes south of Austin (Red Rock), Texas.

Depending on interest (and usually in the case of Austin, Texas) classes are sometimes hosted by a person or group of people who have large acreage. This allows for easy access to people living in that town or part of town.

The intro classes into the school are called the Primitive Core Basic. They are normally six days over two weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun) and you camp on premises for the duration. The next one is in Austin on September 9th, but you have to register by August 26th.
