Jungle Survivor Course

1

TITLE: Jungle survival training by ex-Rangers of Malaysian Army

Good day everyone,

I have a friend, a retired Major who used to serve with the Malaysian Rangers. On my request, he has agreed to organize a 6 day jungle survival training course for civilians at around the 3rd week of March 2012. This course would especially be ideal for those who fishes, camp, hunt or go off-roading in the jungles of Malaysia.

This is a once off project and is a non profit-making concern but a fee will have to be charged on each participant to cover the trainers’ costs for traveling, recces and other expenses incurred in the organizing of this course.

I have also requested them to organize this course in Selangor as most of my friends who have indicated interest in the course are based / working in Selangor. Hence, the Jungle Survivor Trainers will be traveling from Johore, Perak and Negeri Sembilan to Selangor for this.

It will be a solid 6 days’ jungle survival course with lectures, demonstrations and practical hand-on learning.

We are targeting for the 3rd week of March 2012 (This may be moved back a week if the General Elections should fall into these dates). Exact dates to be advised later once we have enough participants.

Course participants: Minimum of 15 participants. Maximum: 20 pax. Training venue will be in Selangor/KL area. Exact location to be advised after their recce.

Below are some info provided to us at this juncture:

• Equipment list will be provided on a later date once the
program is confirmed.

• A list of food items to bring will also be provided.

• We will be staying in the jungle for at least 5 nights.

• As for the medics, all the trainers are trained.

• Emergencies are catered for too. Hospital for any
emergencies will be about 30 mins away by road.

• Clothes list will also be made known.

• All other equipment will be advised as well.

• A minimum of 15 pax, maximum 20 pax.

• We have 5 trainers - 4 paxs per trainer only.

• All trainers will be present with the trainees at all times
when practical exercises are conducted.

• There will be demos and lectures before each practical 'hands
on’activity.

• The exercises will be reasonable and as actual as possible to
any real life situations.

• A detailed daily program will be produced once our program
is firm

Shouldnt be a problem since this is a knowledge/practical hands-on course than an endurance one :-). No age limit but must be above 18 years old. You must be reasonably fit also to do some walking to the base camp and cross a river and building a shelter, etc - nothing more strenous than lure fishing I would say :-). If you are an angler, you should be able to make the course :slight_smile:

HURRY! SIGN UP NOW FOR THE COURSE. Our trainers are ex-trainers from Pusat Latihan Tempur Tentera Darat or PULADA . PULADA was set up in the late 40s during the British occupancy of Malaya. It was then home to the British commandos, being the first place for British army personnel to train, acclimatize and survive in the hostile jungle environment. Malaysia’s PULADA is one of the best military jungle survival schools in the world and have since provided jungle survival training to many foreign Special Ops Forces including those from the US, UK, New Zealand and Australia.

We will be taught what was taught to these foreign Special Ops Forces - an oppportunity not to be missed for civilians. These trainers have been specially invited to come to Selangor to conduct the course for us at a minimum cost to primarily cover their expenses. While I am the organiser of this course, I dont make any money from this - it is a non-profit project for me. I am doing it out of interest and for the knowledge. However, we need to have a minimum number of 15 pax to conduct the course and I have 3 more places to fill to make this into a reality!

So take this opportunity to sign up now for the course. 6 days is a small sacrifice for knowledge that will last a lifetime and which may even save your life one day. Other events can be wait as they will come around again but this will likely not. So grab this rare opportunity to learn from the best at an affordable price.

I have 3 more seats to make this course a reality!!! Sign up now!
