NOW ON DVD- combined with warm weather shelters- Winter Shelters

For those of you who have wondered how you would survive a night or more out in the brutal winter nights of the north country, this is a class for you! Winter Shelter is a vital class to have under your belt when it comes to wilderness survival.

You are lost or have been forced out of your home, perhaps you became stuck on a deserted stretch of road and now you must survive the frigid night. Winter Shelter…
