I
Athene behalf of Colonel Boyd i
recommand would like to welcome you all
here we turn on our outdoor air
conditioning for you coolum where you
been i know we planted a course for you
that I think will suit your needs and
hopefully wednesday i'll see you when
you come back from the field Colonel
Lloyd and hopefully will target there if
we have it please give us some feedback
on what you think the next class might
need and you know we'll adjust our
course for you
well welcome to the northwest I don't
offer any of you been up in this part of
the country before is anybody from state
of Washington Oregon ok we're going to
arrive up in the field about about 1630
hours this afternoon somewhere about
that time not a lot of daylight left
certainly in the mountains the sun goes
down quicker and it does around here but
you can simulate that that's the time
that you suddenly found yourself on the
ground and you'll be broken up into four
groups each group will have an
instructor and you'll be working with
that instructor and we're going to have
some guy to discussions and we're going
to do some problem-solving and
organizing and you're going to find out
and I have found out every year as a
survival training that's really what
survival is it's a problem solving and
organizing leadership comes in you're
going to find a lot of that because
you're not alone up there you're going
to have to work together you will be
able to the situation however it's going
to take some resources namely knowledge
equipment and what we call the will to
survive i define the bald spot for you
we talked about what you can use to
strengthen your will to survive and this
is the most important thing a positive
mental attitude is the single most
important ingredient to strengthen your
will to survive in addition to that
realize your survivor's mission tap into
something greater than you fear hey love
whatever it takes to tap religion
whatever it takes to tap into tap into
it in addition to that maintaining and
building and good physical fitness will
help you strengthen you will to survive
being prepared ahead of time we talked
about that and then understanding how
you react to each of these stresses this
will help you
all right the first thing with this mark
13 flare does anybody know where it's
packed or where it's located okay it's
going to be in your seat kit how many
folks fly with the best you fly out the
best on or just ckckck all your
signaling device is that you're going to
find they're going to be located in your
seat kit now there's two ends of this
flare there's a day in and there's a
night end how do I identify the night
end this should be a quick money from
okay things go bump in the night and
it's red tell you about halfway okay and
then hold your lanyard and your bare
hand rubbing your right hand 90 degrees
and pull down yeah go ahead now see how
it is employment what you do is kind of
shake it a little bit or tap it on the
ground if you're in water you can go
ahead and kind of submerse it in the
water now realize the pain upon the
environment you're in if you're in a
real cold environment the smoke going to
stay right on the ground in this
environment will raise a little bit
because we have a little bit of heat so
if it is a misfire just wait three or
five three to five seconds preferably
five and then you're set to get it takes
about nine seconds to go the entire
height so blowed it in there slightly
into the land
there you go I'm your head down just a
little bit can you feel that it jump
working in a little bit
good luck where you're aiming pull down
that's uh that's pretty good that's
almost directly overhead nicely done for
the first time that's that's pretty good
okay
this is most important thing Leroy yeah
keep your sleeping bag dry
let's go punish me conjure
first of all it is very easy to get
disoriented out here okay turned around
so if you do happen to go walking off
from your camp please let your
instructor know or at least take
somebody with you if you happen to fall
down and get hurt and we have had people
get hurt out here words but I think last
time we took on what 10 stitches from
various reasons we do have a mattock so
if you do hurt yourself if you get cuts
fall down and twist an ankle or
something like that please let your
instructional the guys take a look down
it's just so that it can't get any worse
I think things are some baklava does
anybody have any questions I think we
already got you broke down in your four
groups basically we do have any
established camps out here we're just
going to kind of wander off you're going
to have to carry the stuff if you have
to make two trips just kind of set it
off to the side and you can come back a
little bit and get it and then you're
going to go out and just find your place
kind of let you folks know we're kind of
short on daylight right now so we have
our five basic needs which we need to
start meeting if we were to start
looking at them just real quick we can
start identifying we have health which
is just medical problems and I don't see
anybody with any sort of medical problem
so we can break it on down from there
protection from the environment
sustenance then making sure you know
travel and recovery goes recovery bring
that of signal when it kind of take this
as an immediate action type of landing
we just hit we have these basic needs
before night-night time fall which of
those needs do you think is most
important right now before darkness come
show so okay shelter protection from the
environments of water in a lock and try
to keep a little bit of distance between
you and if you're going to go if you
have branches on the trail make sure you
push them down and make sure there's
distance behind you don't whip the
person behind you make sure to stay
together someone's dropping something
help them out they try to stay together
we don't anybody get lost out here make
sure you can see the person in front of
you
we got all seven correct let's go
but I'd rather be safe than sorry
because if you pick up grd I tell you
what not so let's say the account of
what we got then break down the groove a
breakup okay got a life raft get a water
bag there there's the items you got to
work with yes yes probably other side
what kind of shelter and how many we'd
like to build all these are nice looks
like we've got two I had a question for
you before we down all this water and
have to wait for the purification tails
is this freeze-dried stuff we have to
add water to know those are already set
to go there say to you okay big
difference cuz if you add water yet
whatever lips yeah long-range patrols is
here well I think those are all MREs are
they making this anymore I don't think
they are I haven't seen I haven't seen
any new ones out for a long time
will you probably get online we were
sorta we get two lines I have the
engineering task of
okay great maybe take off this part of
it oh you want to pump it up here okay
okay we're not at that point yeah let me
finish getting ones inside boy but as
far as the other basic protective need
that we have here and some people have
asked about bears and that could be a
fire you take a look at a fire and it
does it meets a whole lot of different
needs probably one of the biggest needs
for me not necessarily that are the
warmth but that is the comfort making
making me feel a little bit more at home
I know with that fire it's going to keep
the Bears and everything else away from
me and that to me is important because
you still you hear those things that go
bump in the night and it does it can
keep you up and ruin a good night of
sleep well what things opus rectory yeah
okay right you're doing perfect yes
she's got the medal match aimed down
into the tenor that's what you wants
you're directing the spark right into
the tender you get the heat that's
parking to go for it and see how this
goes more time okay really printer you
go
figure 3 that sounds good since there's
a yeah and I'm a hold of her when i wake
up with rough irritated my face just
grab it yeah
he has to use your watch the final
got it oh wait we're going to make the
[\h__\h] are coming to North I think the
sun's coming across it will give us the
most halfway between the hour hand and
12 is the South erecting gain by
bringing compass yeah I brought a cup of
down here if you want to check that see
how after that is this is what we
thought the South fat right here
especially if you consider it's really
nine o'clock sometime nor should deal us
over there good yeah use this somehow or
another from one figured out in today
sir these questions are silent gonna
have to grab
they really did it twice why did they do
it twice well he left him open the first
time loose so it wouldn't be good these
are the last few hangers on porkin beans
but they are good I think signs down
highway my stress level ground beef with
spiced sauce spicy sauce mystery meat
this within one back these docks with
gravy sounds better all kind ham and
chicken low beam component you don't

players hey what happened to my peaches
and earlier today oh here you go here's
a cheese spread for you oh here's the
beans all right oh here's the toilet
paper okay it's a brand heavy you like
that good okay explode the very by the
way he sees stuff in here that you got
won't like that like the beverages and
cocoa and stuff it in there yeah just
throw it in there and that's what
everybody wants to play too late what's
the big advantage of the shelter going
in last night this one right here that's
just showing you how to use that
parachute material and it does give you
a little bit more concealment actually
I'll show you to where you can almost
close this off if you had a lot of
insects and things of that sort flying
around that it bother you
come over here I do the same thing we
were the t-shirt
you
wanna go back camp you guys you need
sewing stuff stuff till your heart's
content maybe put out some snares snares
talked about medical just us a little
bit more on water or Global Water fire
craft i'll do another farm
but keep getting
oh no I didn't scratch I thought I had
him he's hanging on it for a long time
yeah I didn't clean you can hold that
and pose for that camera okay yeah I got
easy these are the ones I caught down
there all the stuff you were coming
before only before we head up let's make
sure all our water containers are filled
up also
seemed pretty well
20 so you got a nice late now
oh come on what were percentile so
bernard harris my half a little bit
harder what are you know we're going to
do i will do that will eat now and our
will start a fire cook some up ate it
and then make shelters and then have
another meal whatever we want to good
such a trimmer you hear that okay okay
so what do you wanna start fires will do
me here then don't try the beach yeah it
right into the package here yeah that's
what we're doing wrong we're having the
beaches to the water and they're kind of
dissolving it's great you'll like this
totally awesome here we have some
features we get a lot of second-degree
burns people pick their canteen cup out
of the water all right out of the fire
and they get lines across their hands
where they get like little blisters and
how many guys did that last night you
guys heat up any water on the fire okay
guys shake I see some down Arthur
different time so you're going to want
to be careful that reaching the fire
thing that dad you don't want to prevent
all that injury as all possible what
what kind of injuries could you have
other than burns all right broken that's
okay before we get to that let's talk
about bleeding because that's where I
give you one thing you want to control
wait until he gets the fight at the end
of that met on I'm going to give him a
hot mic you got a naughty i'm giving a
testicle
on my mark
rescue rescue rescue is for p zero one
alpha take heading 170
are you hurt that's negative no injuries
you have six survivors
take heading 140
if you can't if you're getting going off
in that direction why the editors you
did you see him yeah he's behind those
trees right there anyway coming straight
ass
negative injuries and we have a signal
ahead you visual at this time comes
slightly right and we have a wide x roll
out while we're directly ahead
safety in place negative injuries we
have eight survivors continue to turn to
200 Roger we have reflect we have
mirrors and reflective panel on the
ground turn right
stop turn
you'll be overhead my position at my
part
ready ready mark directly underneath
helicopter to make up there we probably
wouldn't really notice it down here if
it makes you feel better and you're
comfortable doing it and do it that's my
critique to you everybody didn't
outstanding job did you get the
helicopter overhead you did a good job
if it's five degrees you want to correct
them you do five degrees and correct
them if it's left turn a right turn like
you were doing he was doing that then
it's fine do it whatever works for you
everybody will have some good stories to
tell about that I'm sure some folks
feedback I got some folks I pretty darn
good yeah yeah must be there Lisa gives
you some idea of something the problem
that you're going to have we've had
pretty good time yeah all right somebody
tell me one time if you're not having a
good time at what you're doing you're
probably not doing it right and I think
there's a lot to that but to seriously
think about the possibility of ever
having to put to use what we've been
talking about the last couple of days
consider that ejecting from a t-38 is
going to be a pretty harrowing
experience depending on your altitude
there may be some free file involved
automatic timer set to open at 14,000
feet you're going to operate a parachute
you maybe have never done that before
find yourself on the ground you're going
to be in shock guarantee nobody goes
through something like that and doesn't
comes out of it dances well whew I'm
glad that's over and walks away from it
it's you're going to be in shock
statistics show that you're going to
chances are there will be some sort of
an injury and then you're going to have
to deal with it from there to try to
make the decisions that you need to make
at that point in time without giving any
thought to the situation ahead you'll
remember this and hopefully a lot of the
stuff that we've passed on to you will
be something that will be something that
you can grab onto and we'll get you
through so much for survival
you
