I teach survival in North Malaysia. I teach youths (22 years old and below and any bodies that invites me). I do it for free always if they are youths. Its my turn to give to the community.
I usually start with a Awareness on Jungle Safety - How to survive it class for 1 day. To keep them going.
Its usually what happened, why it happened and what can you do. Most cases are during hiking, when someone gets lost or is separated from a main group.
My basic classes are usually for 4 days and 3 nights.

Here I teach them simple basic things such as STOP (Stop and Sit, Think, Observe and Plan), what to have, utilize what you have in your day pack and, first aid kit, from your minimal survival kit and utilize what the jungle has to offer. Some basic navigation. Its usually, theory, demo and practical.

My advance classes are for those who are interested to pursue and they follow me on my hikes. Max is only 4 per advance class and event.

Its fun...being an ex Field Force Officer (similar to army but under the Police wings) and with some self taught processes, experience and some courses, I find it fun giving the younger generation something.

I always tell them to practice and practice and practice.
