Wild Water Procurement
I came in skeptical about finding water in the wild. Left knowing exactly how to set up a solar still and three other methods. Jake is incredibly knowledgeable and patient with questions. Life-changing 60 minutes.

Wilderness Navigation Mastery
Really solid class. Learned way more than expected about reading a topo map. Jake shares incredible real-life SAR stories that put the skills in context. Only giving 4 stars because it rained and we had no shelter, but that's nature I guess!
