Notes from Chris

Episode 2142

I’ve been watching the show Alone, which is like Survivor on steroids. You go out in the wild and have to survive entirely on your own and with limited equipment for months. I would last about two days ... maybe. But as I said, great show.

Our caller today from Montana is an outdoorsman himself. He’s thinking of teaching survival skills classes, either in-person or online, but he’s not sure where to begin. Can we help him get out of the woods?

What might be a few first steps for him or someone else interested in teaching a skill?

“Hey, this is Pete from Bozeman, Montana. I've always been good at being in the outdoors, and these days there's an increased interest in learning survival skills. I've thought about applying to teach a class at REI or somewhere else, but I have no idea how I'd go about doing it on my own.

I also wonder about the possibility of teaching some parts of it online. Years ago I never would have thought of that, but now I can imagine carrying my camera and mobile hotspot into the woods to demonstrate how to forage and start fires.

But again, I have no idea how to get started or build some kind of market for it. It feels overwhelming. What do you think I should do?”
