Phase 2 – Survival Program

August 13 – August 22, 2027

We believe the best option is to conduct the survival program in the same remote region where the Anaconda Expedition takes place, as the environment provides excellent natural resources and ideal conditions for practicing survival skills in a truly authentic setting.

Days 11–20 – Survival Training

The survival modules we could integrate include:

• Proper and safe use of a machete

• Construction of individual jungle shelters

• Navigation using natural signs

• Compass training and practical field orientation

• Techniques for locating and securing water
