At Reuben's request, since Becker Knife and Tool and ESEE are such close comrades, I give the second class.

Reuben did say, he wished more Beckerheads would show up for this one, given our style. :D

Our goal is to provide people of all fitness levels with basic survival skills in a mountainous environment. This will cater to those who want to get their feet wet and start learning some skills or refresh them. Although some things like shelter materials and fire materials will be terrain specific, most of the skills will translate to the rest of the world.
Gear List
Keep it simple with extra attention to clothing. Bring plenty of cold weather clothing as the high elevation is prone to wind, and even snow around this time of the year. Make sure you have at least the following: Cutting Tool (knife/machete), Fire Starting Tool (Magnesium bar, Ferrocium Rod), Compass, Signaling Mirror, Whistle, Water Container (preferably metal), 550 cord, Water Filter or Water Purification Tabs, Space Blanket or Tarp. A Camera and/or Journal for notes.
Bring what you have. If you have a knife, we’ll show you how to use it. If you have a machete or hatchet, we’ll show you how to use it. Also, if you don’t have something, don’t sweat it.
Bring all food and snacks you wish to eat. Food can be cooked in the camp.

Schedule:
Day 1 (Friday)- Meet at trailhead 10 am. Short hike to camp, student put up their own shelter, be it tent/bivy/tarp/hammock. First Aid, Knife Safety and Use, Fire Making, Navigation.

So I'll see what's going on then, but until it get's closer I can't say for sure that I can or cannot go.

Ya, what he said.
I think an East Coast Class may not be too far fetched. Could be a possibility.

I missed the first west coast class, I will not be missing this one.
I practically grew up in Whittier, CA. You live close by friend.

So I'll see what's going on then, but until it get's closer I can't say for sure that I can or cannot go.
I would like to get more custom knife maker's to the class to show off their stuff and help promote them. Let me know if this is a possibility.
