Advanced Survival Class at the Pathfinder School

[@DavidCanterbury]

Great Job brother, you did fantastic, and thank you for the review and the comments, I am very proud of what we have created and I am glad you found it useful as well as challenging. Learning yourself is one of the biggest Advanced class lessons and it sounds like you took that away in spades-

[@EnduranceRoom]

David Canterbury Thank you, sir. Really appreciate it. The lessons were all excellent. Grateful for the experience.

[@recall5811]

Great Job and Great Video

[@EnduranceRoom]

Corporals Corner thank you, sir. Much appreciated.

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

Good review, brother! Proud of you! Sounds like you caught the underlying lesson as well: knowledge of self.

[@EnduranceRoom]

The Gray Bearded Green Beret thanks, brother. Much appreciated.

Josh is the man seems to be the most down to earth and real of the whole "entourage";)

[@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft]

Good info! I go in May, looking forward to it!

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks! Enjoy the class! I still think about it. Awesome experience.

[@bamadanbushcraft5369]

Jess I would love to take this class and if I were 20 years younger I definitely would. I know that I couldn't keep up with you youngsters though. I can still do the stuff but it just takes me longer. Not a problem though because I'm not in any hurry. Reminds me of an old saying in the construction industry, "when you're young they pay you for how fast you can go but when you're older they pay you for what you know." Keep churning out those videos because in my opinion, you're one of the best.

Right on! Way to go getting your patch! Awesome video

SuperIain13 thanks brother!

[@ShipWreck54]

Listening to you describe this, it brought back a flood of memories of boot camp! Not so much about being in the woods but the pushing yourself each day and finding out that you are capable of more than you realize.

[@EnduranceRoom]

James Stamper Exactly. That was the biggest lesson we took away from the experience. Really enjoyed it. It was very well put together and delivered.

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks! Welcome to the channel.

[@jksurvivalbushcraft]

Thanks for the aar, gives a lot of intel on what to expect. But more importantly… you can tell by watching your video how much it has helped you, not just the skills, but the confidence and maybe self enlightenment? Great job!

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thank you! It was an awesome experience. Still think about it often. Definitely showed us how much more we were capable of outside our comfort zones.

[@patrickharmon9459]

Congratulations to you, keep your the good work and God bless

Your frank insightful comments put everything up-front about necessary preparation, training up, what to expect austere harsh conditions and scarce of nutrition. 5 days/ 40 some odd deliverables Congratulations to you!

[@EPGunman]

You also earned a sub from me!

You are awesome and I love your KZbin I learned a lot but I know for a fact that I couldn't do the classes I go camping I Bushcraft a little but my health ain't good enough so I go on the weekends not too far in the woods

[@EnduranceRoom]

Getting out in the woods and enjoying nature is the most important part. Honestly, there are plenty of days where I am not far into the woods myself. Thanks for watching and all the best

[@davidziegler6782]

Throw a sheet of clear plastic over front of tent. Thatll warm up your shelter alot if u have a fire. Always take care of your feet

That was an accomplishment and I commend you on your hard work and success. Very detailed review in my humble opinion. I took a lot from your comments and sharing of your experience. Cheers.

[@EnduranceRoom]

JEFLEBLANC thank you! I appreciate it. It was a great experience and would recommend their classes to anyone. I am still amazed at not only how much information was packed into the classes, but what the students were able to learn about themselves. ATB Jess

[@daveagar5594]

I am very envious of you. You must have so much more confidence in your skills now. I hope to take it one day.

[@EnduranceRoom]

It was an excellent experience and definitely learned a lot from the course. The best part besides the material/skills covered, was how far they pushed us mentally and physically. It showed everyone there that they had a lot more to give than they thought. Hope you get the chance to check it out someday. They released a DVD certificate program years ago that is really good. Has a work book with a lesson plan and you email all your work to them. Has a lot of good info and practical experience built in.

[@AncientNovelist]

Jess, Your videos on TPS courses are among the best I've found on KZbin. I took the Basic Survival course late last year and discovered that I still have much to learn! I was hoping to take the Intermediate Survival course in April, but then the pandemic happened, and everything where I work changed. I definitely recommend your videos to friends and co-workers. Congratulations on passing the advanced course!

[@EnduranceRoom]

Pearson Moore thank you, Pearson! Appreciate it. Really did enjoy the experiences there. Hope you get a chance to go to the Intermediate class in the near future. All the best

[@azshootersupply]

Strong work bro. You should be proud. Hope to see you progress and grow the channel

[@EnduranceRoom]

thank you very much!

[@StevanOutdoor]

Great you had fun out there and learned new skills under difficult circumstances. My advanced course has similarities but also differences. Biggest difference is that I take them out of their climate comfort zone so if your comfort climate zone is the boreal forest I take you to the jungle and vise versa. It's easy to know what's around you and you can practice all skills in your backyard using the same materials during the course, but what if you are stranded in an unfamiliar surrounding with all different vegetation?

[@mendyviola]

Congrats! I’d die - probably literally. I’m too old for a course like that, but I find it interesting. My goal is to just get through a primitive camp experience without supplied potable water from the back of a bicycle. 😂

[@humblewoodsman]

Man great videos,been wanting to do these classes for some time one can never learn enough

[@EnduranceRoom]

thanks very much! I would definitely recommend them. I learned a ton in a very short space of time.

[@MrScubaPom]

Look pretty awsome. How is Shawn?! He look like a top guy to train with

[@tobaccoroadadventures]

I ask the question on the intermediate video if you went to advanced class yet? Looks like ya did!😂 Awesome brother!!!!🤘🏼

[@EnduranceRoom]

Tobacco Road Adventures Thanks, brother! I really enjoyed both classes. They definitely improved everyone’s skills in a very short time. The best part though, is the challenge to get through the training.

[@bowdiersackett6433]

I got to go find your intermediate video..did Basic 3 weeks ago

[@BloodBoughtMinistries1]

Thank you for the info! I'm considering taking classes with them. Besides in name how involved is Dave with the classes?

[@EnduranceRoom]

A.c. Harsh he is the man. he was traveling quite a bit, but think he is back teaching more consistently

[@jameshutto3047]

Youve got tons of food around you. I found during fasting is like you say. First day your stomach "flips" then you dont feel hungry. Our minds are addicted to lots of modern food and will mess with you

[@dcez1370]

A lot of these skill are what our stone age ancestors had to use to survive.

[@nickcasolino8903]

For an international person that would like to attend the course or courses, is there any transportation available (train, bus, etc,) that will him to the school?

[@EnduranceRoom]

I would email them directly. You could probably get an Uber driver to take you to the meeting location, and then get a ride with one of the instructors or other students to the school.

[@jameshutto3047]

Vicks works for scorpions and ants too

[@asmith7876]

Forced dehydration...hmmm....I'm guessing the waiver students sign is many pages long! My kind of fun!

[@appreciatizer5911]

I know this is old but I'm going to begin my journey with pathfinder in 2022. How many miles a day did you hike in the class?

[@EnduranceRoom]

Between 3-7 miles depending on the day. Packs get heavier overtime as you do more projects. Learn to pack light, but practice carrying heavier loads a couple days a week.

[@jamesyarbrough4777]

could yall bring traps? like a couple 110 conibears?

[@EnduranceRoom]

No, they had a pretty strict gear list. Starving and not sleeping was part of the lesson plan. They did it to show us we could do a LOT more than we expected.

[@bowdiersackett6433]

Did you fly or drive to get there..if fly what airport do you go in at

I drove. If you are on FB, I would join the Pathfinder School group page. Lots of info there about classes, plus any specifics regarding last min changes etc.

There is bushcraft & then there is this crazy ass shit, who would sign up to this? Me I just want to hike a few miles put up a tarp make a fire cook some good food drink some whiskey & smoke a cigar. But this course sounds more like special forces training, saying that I dought even special opps guys would find this course easy, no food & water screw that. Glad you took some lessons from the course, nothing like that here in the UK that I know of?

[@recon0x7f16]

how many snakes did u eat and what day

Just one small garter snake that I shared with my training partner. It was on the 3rd day I believe.

@@EnduranceRoom so u didnt eat anything till then?

@@recon0x7f16 No. Two days after, the instructors had a slice of pizza left over from their dinner (they made a point to eat well in front of us lol). So they have a slice of pizza, its morning and it rained half the night. All of a sudden they said whoever lights a fire with flint and steel first gets the slice. My tinder was wet and I had never used flint and steel, but I lucked out and got an ember going in some charred punk wood and then got my wet tulip poplar birds nest to light. Long story short, I won the slice, which I split with my training partner. That was it for 5 days. Half a small garter snake and half a slice of pizza. It was awesome. Bob Evans after. Lots of pancakes lol
