The Black Flag Outdoor Academy has one simple goal, to empower people to learn the skills they need to be safe and feel confident in the great outdoors.
We recognize that people have different preferences to how they learn, so we have designed our courses to be conducted both in an online setting and with in-person instruction.
Our online course work will provide valuable information through written instruction and video demonstrations, allowing students to develop the skills they need at a pace and place that is comfortable for them.
Our in person courses will provide the same information as our online program with the benefit of having hands on instruction and practice.

The Basics Program is a series of mini-courses designed to introduce beginners to a variety of wilderness survival topics. These courses can also serve as a refresher or provide a different perspective for experienced outdoors people. These courses are 100% free of charge and will be offered online through this website. You can expect these to be delivered in a combination text, info graphic, and short form video.
