Island Survival
Imagine waking up in your handmade palm-thatched hut, rubbing two sticks together to make a fire, and spearing fish for a dinner you have made from wild edible plants and coconut milk. This is the expedition of a lifetime, a 5-day intensive training course mixed with a personal challenge where you survive for an additional 3 days with little to no supplies. Live the adventure that everyone talks about but only a select few will ever experience.
What you Learn
This class is for everyone from the novice enthusiast to the seasoned outdoors person. The adventure is so unique that it will push your skills no matter your experience level. We begin the process of learning how to create fire by friction, harvest edible and medicinal plants, weave palm-thatched shelters, make coconut milk and oil, set traps, weave fishing line from plant fibers, create pottery from the landscape, fish with bone hooks and spearfish for lobster and fish dinner, weave baskets, create containers, purify water and a myriad of other skills to prepare you for your 3-day group challenge.
3 Day Challenge
As a group, embark on the challenge phase of the class where you go to a remote part of St Croix, to live off the land for 3 days! During this time you will essentially start from scratch and will have very few modern items with you. Build your own shelter, harvest all of your food, catch your own fish, create fire from the landscape, spear lobster and hunt goats and test yourself and your skills...in paradise.
