Final Instructions
We will meet at the main office at the Morgan-Monroe State Forest, 6220 Forest Rd., Martinsville, IN. We will then proceed to the Low Gap Trail.
We should meet at 7:30 AM and depart from the main office to the starting point at 8:00 AM.
RUCKWORK: A one-day class built around a ruck march through rolling, Southern Indiana terrain. We will be on the move for the entire class, stopping along the way to conduct classes in various survival topics, to include: survival planning and priorities, wilderness 1st aid and trauma care, shelter building, making fire, procuring and treating water, finding food, basic land navigation and signals/comms. You will learn by doing, hands on. This class will test your gear, your loadout and you.
This is not a Spartan race, but students should be able to cover 5-8 miles with their bug out bag, over hilly trails. Sturdy, broken-in boots and layers are recomended. If you have a bug out bag, bring it. You will have a great opportunity to try it out and see what works and what doesn't. Everyone will be asked to share their thoughts on their loadouts from time to time, depending on what we are doing in the class room sessions.
