Pictured below is what you can expect to receive to eat when you attend our training programs.

Outdoor Survival & Land Navigation 30 Hour Program Meals

Day Course / 8 Hours – For lunch you will be issued hot dogs or hamburgers, a bag of chips, soda and or water. Which you are required to cook this meal yourself over an open fire or inside a military ammo can like the one shown in the picture. Note: There is only a 30 minute lunch break, which is why you are issued a non-survival meal that can be cooked and eaten quickly, so we can continue on with training.

Overnight Course / 24 Hours – For Lunch you will be issued oriental rice or oriental spaghetti, dried beef jerky (ready-to-eat meat) and a bag of sweets. For dinner you will be issued either a raw rabbit, chicken or fish along with a vegetable and be required to cook both meals yourself over an open fire. Lunch is a common Asian food found in the Far East, and dinner will consist of wild game or fish commonly found throughout the world.

Note: Due to severe restrictions & penalties, we are not allowed to hunt nor trap game in Italy - it's against the law! So we have no choice but to provide you an uncooked meal similar to the type of wild game found in other countries.

Military Survival Meals

Day Course / 8 Hours - When we can acquire the meals, we will issue for lunch either a military or commercial MRE, (Meals-Ready-to-Eat). If they are not available, we will provide another type of meal similar to an MRE or an ammo can lunch.

Overnite Course/ 24 Hours – For lunch you will be issued a mix of fruit commonly found in the tropics & jungle and dried beef jerky, (ready-to-eat meat). For dinner you will be issued (when they are available) a military or commercial MRE, (Meal-Ready-to- Eat).

NOTE: You do not have a choice of meals, what we issue is what you get to eat. Though you may exchange meals with other students, MREs are only available to students attending our Basic Military Survival Training Programs. Do not ask to be issued MREs, nor are they for sale.

EDIBLE PLANTS: We do NOT teach this topic because there are too many edible [and non-edible] plants worldwide and we just don’t have the time to cover this subject. Though many other survival schools offer this training, most only teach about the edible & non-edible plants located in their training area. If you travel often to certain foreign and exotic places, it best to learn about edible & non-edible plants from the people who live in that particular region.
