survival training
Learning outdoor endurance
Survival training is instruction in techniques for staying alive in wilderness or hostile environments.
It typically covers finding water, building shelter, starting fires, foraging for food, and signaling for rescue.
Military personnel undergo survival training for combat situations; civilians take courses for backcountry emergencies or personal preparedness: The pilot credited his survival training with keeping him alive after the crash.
