How to eat and SURVIVE in the woods

ChristopherNyerges.com; Xochitl, Ashley Wells, Wisdom Quarterly

Imagine learning how to survive in the wild. What if there were a way to conquer California when disaster conquers city life and comfortable civilization. Why worry about chemtrails, earthquakes, a radioactive tsunami, a Chinese or Russian invasion, epidemic, or the disclosure of extraterrestrial meddling in earthling affairs? Do something about it. Nothing trumps self-reliance.

Christopher Nyerges has provided survival education since 1974 through The School of Self-Reliance (Facebook). He runs field trips and workshops. Learn urban and wilderness self-reliance and survival [see schedule]. Learn about:

• WILD FOODS

The Story of the School of Self-reliance

Go Green and Save Money at Home

The school was founded by Christopher and Dolores Nyerges, who had a dream to live and teach practical skills to urban folk who have lost touch with our most basic roots.

Since Dolores’ passing in 2008 Christopher has carried on with peripatetic faculty with unique skills.

Since 1974 Christopher has taken over 30,000 children and adults on his Wild Food and Survival Skills Outings, as well as other field trips and outdoor programs.

Nyerges has worked with such groups as Sierra Club, Tree People, the Southwest Museum, the Boy Scouts of America, Elder Hostel, home schools, public and private schools, churches, and libraries.
