The Survival Tab

[caption id="attachment_2437" align="alignnone" width="3264"] TAB: Survival[/caption]

A prerequisite to earn the Survival Tab is you must have taken a CAG sanctioned class for the Austere Medicine tab. It isn't feasible to learn survival without basic first aid skills.

2 Video requirements

First 2 minute video will be of your primitive camp with:

• A primitive shelter, nothing store bought may be used in the construction of the shelter.
• A cooking station (NOT just a fire), we will leave the definition of cook station up to you (Be creative).
• At least one hand made tool, that consists of a minimum of 2 parts and demonstrate its use (Hatchet, hammer, or a trap).

The second 2 minute video will be of you starting a fire:
