24-Hour Field Fundamentals
The Initiate Immersion is the entry point into Elite Survival’s field program. This 24-hour immersion establishes the core skills required to operate safely and effectively in the wilderness.
Participants learn foundational bushcraft principles through direct instruction and immediate application. The focus is on competence, not comfort. Students leave with the confidence to build one match fires, procure and purify water off the land, prepare food over flame, and establish a functional shelter using minimal equipment.
This tier is ideal for those new to bushcraft, as well as experienced individuals seeking to validate fundamentals and prepare for higher-level expeditions.
Key Focus Areas:
- Fire building and fire management
- Cooking over open flame
- Water sourcing and sterilization
- Blade stewardship
- Tarp shelter setup and site selection
- Essential knots and cordage use
Outcome:
Graduates earn eligibility to advance into Tier 2.
