SC- Survival Skills

Moderate to difficult, varied terrain, on and off trail

Join the Allegheny County Park Rangers and learn about basic woodland survival skills. Learn what to do if you become lost, methods of water filtration, how to start an emergency fire (everyone receives a fire starting kit), how to build emergency shelters, and how to plan ahead and prepare so you don?t become lost in the first place or be ready if you do. Come dressed for the outdoors (Rain or Shine) and be prepared to walk at least 2 miles over varied terrain ? on an off trail. Be sure to bring enough water for the weather conditions as access may be limited or non-existent. Expect to spend three hours in the outdoors.Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
