The science behind survival. Outdoors Biology class for HS

Article in the paper.
Local middle schools teach hunting skills including gun safety, game handling and care, etc. The High Schools are offering an Outdoor Biology class which teaches survival, which includes time spent at the range.
I really wish more schools would do this and teach our kids about the outdoors and how to respect it, and do the things we enjoy safely.

On a recent evening in Juneau, seven Juneau-Douglas High School students gathered at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Hunter Education Shooting Complex and watched Range Safety Officer Steve Hildebrand discuss gun safety and shooting positions, complete with references to isosceles triangles. Shortly afterward, they entered the gun range to shoot rifles themselves.

Outdoor Biology, said Hopkins, is both a community-based and a locally inspired class. It’s a mix, he said, of wildlife topics and “hands-on outdoor skills.” Over the course of a year, students discuss the biology involved in fishing, hunting and wildlife management; they make Tlingit subsistence tools like halibut hooks; they discuss the physical science involved in canoes and traditional Tlingit canoe modifications to increase hull speed; they discuss bear behavior, physiology and safety; they learn about fish processing and both traditional and modern methods of fish preservation, and they learn about wildlife genetics, among other topics.

While this would be a good thing, most schools and teachers lack the ability to teach anything that would be useful in life.

AK....it's good to see that there's still somewhere where heads are screwed on straight.

I teach my kids and nephews. I want them to be able to eat and drink if and when TSHTF. We make it fun and enjoy it. I like going out and gathering plants and having wildgame for a totally natural meal. Kids love it. Wanted backstrap, squirrel n dumplings and dandelion salad with my vinegar and oil dressing.

Back in my middle school days we had something similar. It was mostly gun safety and anyone who didn't already have the hunter's education safety card received one through this course. They even brought in a couple of shotguns so we could shoot skeet from the back of the school. It was put on by the school and some teachers would help the two instructors they brought in. I hope they still do this today even with all the media gun fervor.
