About this Event:
Did you enjoy getting into the outdoors? Do you want to get outdoors more, but have fears about what can happen? Do you want to expand your knowledge of the skills and tools to get you back home safely? This class will teach students the basic information on what can happen and how we can overcome or even avoid a survival situation. This class will provide students with information on how to turn an unplanned event into manageable situation rather than a survival situation. Included in this class, will be a hands-on demonstration of emergency communication, emergency shelters, ways to start a fire, ways to purify water, basic navigation, basic 1st aid, and building your survival kit. This course is designed to give students the basic knowledge of how to get home safely if a survival situation arises. This is not a primitive living / survival course. This course will provide students with examples of modern technology and modern items to help them survive and get home safely.

About the Program
Overview:
Advanced Hunter Education courses cover topics outside of the Hunter Education certification course. Events include introduction to live fire, Dutch oven, hunting workshops, and more.
Live Fire Classes
Live fire classes are run by certified Range Safety Officers (RSO) instructing proper safety and handling of firearms. Key practices include wearing eye/ear protection, following specific Range Safety Officer commands, and understanding range-specific Standard Operating Procedures. Point the muzzle in a safe direction, treat every firearm with the respect due a loaded gun, be sure of the target and what is in front of it and beyond it, and keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot. Events include introducing students to firing Rifles, Muzzleloaders, Shotguns and crossbows at a shooting facility. The class is free of charge, and all material is provided.
Workshops and Specialty Classes
Classes for the Nevada Tag Application process and interactive educational sessions on Nevada’s Antelope, Mule deer and Bighorn sheep are hosted throughout the state. Specialty classes include enhanced learning through hands-on experience in Wild Game Dutch Oven Cooking, Wilderness Survival, and Camping courses. Some classes are outdoors only, come prepared. Classes are free and all material is provided.
