How does BOSS differ from other outdoor programs?
A. BOSS courses offer a more natural experience in the wilderness than most other programs literally. On our courses, we do not bring stoves, tents, sleeping bags, or even backpacks into the field. Instead, we teach you how to make fire without matches, how to build shelter from forest debris, and how to navigate from the stars. No other major outfitter offers a program that avoids the high-tech, bring-it-all-with-you mentality. The result is an experience that can be much more “real” and meaningful to a person on the most basic level. Additionally, our average student in 2009 was 34 and professional, making our target audience slightly older than that of most outdoor schools.
