URBAN SURVIVAL BUG-OUT
Extraction
You've made the decision. You're leaving.
Now it's about execution. Where are you going. How are you getting there. What you're carrying. How you move through an urban environment that may no longer be functioning normally. How you navigate when infrastructure fails. How you keep your family fed, sheltered and safe until you reach your destination.
This 24-hour field course is where preparation becomes capability. You don't just learn what to do — you do it. You navigate, you move, you set up shelter, you manage your resources overnight. You finish this course having lived the Bug-Out, not just studied it.
