ABOUT
Women’s Wilderness Weekend LEVEL 1 is a course directed towards women of all ages to encourage more female participation in the field of wilderness survival. Students from all skill levels are welcome and no experience is required. Whether you are a proclaimed survivalist, a weekend bushcrafter, a homesteader, an ultralight hiker, or just a general everyday woodswoman this class is designed to promote a sense of community through our shared love of nature. Together we will build skills that promote confidence both within ourselves and out in the woods.
Throughout the weekend we will learn to take care of our immediate needs in wilderness survival as we discuss self-aid, fire, navigation and shelter. Other topics will include self-defense, hygiene, and signaling for rescue. This class is for participants who desire to both learn and grow, as well as how to develop a sense of resilience through self-reliance in both community and as individuals in the wild.

Learned some new skills and made some new friends. If you can take a class with Jacks, do it!
— SARAH ISABELLE
Jacks took us under her wing and taught us survival skills and instilled in us that we can do hard things.
To dig deep and believe in ourselves.
— ROBIN CAMIRE
There was so much encouragement and camaraderie I hated to see the class end. I’ll definitely be taking more classes with Jacks.
