How often do you conduct your training?
Unlike other survival schools, we conduct our training only on the weekends when most people have the time to attend our training. Though we conduct our training all year round, some of our training programs are scaled back during the winter months due to weather conditions and safety.

What type of survival training do you teach?
We teach mostly “modern survival” and some primative survival too. The difference is "modern survival" is learning how to survive in the outdoors with a limited amount of items you pack and carry in a survival kit. Primative survival is learning how to survive with nothing but your bare hands and whatever mother nature provides you, rocks, trees, plants, water, etc.

Where do you teach your survival training?
We have several training areas, one is located near Vicenza, another is located in Asiago and one of our newest training areas is locate at Lugagnano D'Arda at the Parco Provinciale where ROBERTO LORENZANI's Adventure Academy is located. When you register for a program we will provide you further information such as where and how to meet us for our training.

Can I bring some of my own survival gear to the training?
No, everyone will be issed and train with the same exact equipment. Do NOT bring any of your own survival gear or you will be told to leave it in your car.

Can I bring my softair gun on the overnite training programs?
NO! We are NOT teaching battle drills & tactics, we are teaching land navigation, emergency first aid, outdoor survival and military survival but WITHOUT any weaponry. So do NOT bring any softair guns to our training or you will be told to leave it in your car. Absolutely NO softair guns!

May I bring my son or daughter with me?
Provided your son or daughter is at least 13 years old and you pay for their program fees, yes, they are welcome to attend our training. If they are not 13 years old or older, they will NOT be permitted to attend our training. No one under the age of 18 will be permitted to attend our training without a parent or guardian being present, and everyone’s identification will be checked prior to the training too. By the way, WOMEN ARE WELCOME to attend our training too.

Do I need to bring any documents with me?
Yes, you MUST bring the following documents, either photocopies or the originals:

1. a valid Identification card.

2. a statement from your family doctor stating you are in good physical condition to attend our training.

Note: Both documents are required and not just one or the other. And only Italian or US citizens may attend our training for two reason; (a) classes are taught in Italian & English and (b) for personal security reasons.

Do I need to bring any food or beverages with me?
No, the program fees include a lunch & beverages for the day courses and a lunch, dinner & beverages for the overnite courses.

Do I need to bring any special clothing, footgear or other items with me?
For the day courses, you may wear whatever you like, but for the overnite training we would like everyone to be in the same uniform. So if you own a camouflage shirt and hat, please bring them with you. If not, we will try to provide you a camouflage shirt and boonie hat to wear. As for footgear, we strongly recommend you wear either hiking shoes or military boots and no tennis shoes. For our overnite training and day land navigation courses, you will need to bring extra socks and a change of clothing along with your toiletries, (soap, toothbrush, towel, toilet paper, etc). And ___ x AA batteries for your two-way radio and flashlite, which will be returned back to you upon completion of the training.

What if it rains or the weather forecast calls for rain, will training continue?
We would like to see training continue, unfortunately too many students in the past have called in and canceled their position or they simply did not show up. Therefore for our day courses, if it’s raining or if it’s going to rain, training will be canceled and rescheduled for another day. For our overnite training, if it’s raining or if the weather forecast calls for rain, we will cancel the training and reschedule it for another weekend. But if it’s sunny or cloudy and it begins to rain once training is in progress, will continue on with the training as planned.

Our club/organization is interested in attending some of your programs, but we would like to know more about the training before we enroll, can you provide us more information?
No problem, here's what we'll do. Tell us which programs you are interested in attending and we'll allow two members from your club/organization to attend the training for a half day. And for free too, no charge. But if they decide to stay for the remainder of the day because they enjoyed the program so much, they will be required to pay for entire day of training.

I am a scoutmaster and I have a group of scouts who would like to learn some military outdoor survival skills. What do I have to do to coordinate this training?
First, we need to know how many scouts want this training. Second, where do you want this training to be conducted? And third, when do you want this training? Once you have provided us this information and we check our training schedule is when we can tell you if we can accommodate your request or if you need to pick another date.

Do I need to forward a deposit?
No, a deposit is not required. But if you register for a class and you change your mind less than 24 hours prior to the training or you fail to let us know you are not coming. And later you decide to register again for another course, you will be charged an additional penalty fee for failing to properly cancel your previous position. So please DO NOT register or contact us until you are ready to attend our training, space is limited.
