It is important that students dress prepared for weather, especially cold weather. Class is 100% outside and although class is held off-trail in the forest, it will only be held a short walking distance to the parking area. Please bring extra layers, even if you do not think you will need them. If you are interested in a knife design developed by Tim Swanson, the lead instructor, please send a message to Jackson Mills of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/freedom.forge/">Freedom Forge</a>&nbsp;and inquire about The Talon knife. The Talon knife is Tim's idea of a perfect survival knife for the needs of all of our classes and each one is handmade with custom handle and sheath options. They take a few weeks to make so please plan accordingly if you would like your knife to use in class. Depending on custom options, these knives sell for around $200. This class is geared for adults, however mature minors are welcome to join. We do not set an age minimum but rather set a maturity standard. It is up to the parents to decide if they feel their child or teen is mature enough for a 6 hour survival class. All students are expected to maintain a level of respect for all students and carry themselves as individuals. If you feel your child will be interruptive to the flow of class, or hinder your independent learning, this class will not be for them and we encourage you to look at our children's survival classes, which are specifically structured for kids. Students below the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The ticket price covers the cost of 1 student, regardless of age. Camping is availabel at the farm for $10 a night. Please reach out to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dancingbearfarmnh.com/about">Dancing Bear Farm</a>&nbsp;if you would like to camp out. This class will be taught by Tim Swanson, founder and lead instructor or Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival. For more information, go to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.owleyeswilderness.com/calendar">owleyeswilderness.com</a>. Tent camping is available for $10/site for the weekend. Email dancingbearfarmnh@gmail.com to reserve a camp site.
