"The Hobo Forge Survival Primitive Survival Class was truly a life changing experience. From the start, it was both challenging and rewarding, pushing me to use creativity and problem solving in ways I never expected. We covered the core essentials of survival—food, water, shelter, fire, and signal/first aid under the premise that you have no tools beyond stone and your own imagination. I literally had to make everything off of the landscape from scratch: cordage, stone cutting tools, bow drills, hand drills, an awesome pack basket to carry my tools and equipment as I made items, containers to process and cook water, hunting tools, and food-gathering implements. Each skill built on the next, and every step reinforced just how capable we can be when stripped to the basics. This course pushed me past my comfort zone and gave me confidence in my ability to adapt and thrive with only the raw materials nature provides. What amazed me most was how my mindset changed from what I thought I knew to work to how it really works. My capabilities were challenged and enhanced. Jason and his instructors were amazing, professional and worked with me. Their ability to balance when I needed help or for me figure it out was perfect, which adds so much value to the training. It was not training to fail, but learning from those failures to improve and succeed. I know my skill set has grown because of this class. Simply put, this was the best class I have been to - PERIOD"
