Join SOS Survival Products for Survival Educator's unique Outdoor Survival Workshop. It is extremely valuable for those interested in increasing their self-reliance and self-sufficiency when faced with any type of emergency. The information covered applies to the wilderness traveler, outdoors enthusiast, modern day prepper, first responder, or anyone concerned with post-disaster survival.

Enjoying adventures in the wilderness, or facing the challenges after a calamity, should not be a life and death situation. Perhaps an inconvenience, but rarely life and death. So, then, what does it take to survive outdoor emergencies? Obviously, understanding the basics of pre-trip preparation, setting realistic travel goals, and setting out knowing you are prepared for the unexpected helps keep all types of emergencies in perspective. And when they do occur, what are realistic actions you and your companions should take? These skills are covered in detail during the Outdoor Survival Workshop.
