Item Description

If the dinosaurs had known how to rub two sticks together, there might be stegosaurus tracks on the moon, and you and I would still be 5-inch long proto-possums (adelobasileus; look it up) living in the walls of some super-rich parasaurolophus who made a trillion dollars rapping about lady T-rexes and his fleet of Bentleys.  Did you know there are currently 1,360 Near Earth Objects classified as potentially hazardous?  1,016 of these objects are at least 1 km in size.  Do you know how to rub two sticks together?  I hope so, because when 4179 Toutatis slams into the earth, ending civilization as we know it, you’re probably going to want a fire.  And this is where Adventure Out steps in — they’re going to teach you how to survive.  One day is all they’ll need.  On your special day you’ll spend 5 hours in the wilderness with one of Adventure Out’s expert instructors.  You're excited and curious but also a little nervous — what if you can't rub two sticks together?  What if you're just like the dinosaurs?  Here’s what Adventure Out says will happen: “You WILL build a shelter, you WILL make fire, you WILL learn about edible plants, make native-style traps, and learn several other indigenous skills.”  Adventure Out did the all-caps thing, so they seem pretty confident.  Also a little intense.  Which is good!  No point in halfway surviving the apocalypse.
