Outdoor Adventure Summit: Free Online Masterclasses From Industry Leaders

On June 19th, the 2023 Outdoor Adventure Summit will be hosting an impressive array of outdoors experts and streaming their classes online, completely free of charge! For five days (June 19th through June 23rd), from noon to 3pm EST, a guest speaker will walk you through fieldcraft skill, or discuss lessons they've learned from their years of experience. This is a great opportunity to learn from some of the best survival instructors in the world, especially if you live in the urban jungle or if attending in-person classes is challenging. Event host Brady Patterson has lined up 13 speakers, each covering a unique topic related to the outdoors, or the outdoors industry.

Outdoor Adventure Summit Upgrades

If you can't attend the online event each day, there are a few options that will help ensure that you don't miss a single moment. For $77 you can get access to all of the recordings after the event to rewatch, or view at your leisure. And for $97 (the VIP upgrade) you receive all of the recordings, and get added to group calls to ask presenters questions. This includes: Carleigh Fairchild — two-time Alone contestant; Brady Patterson — event host, survival instructor and business consultant; Bushcraft Global — jungle expedition leaders; and several more. The VIP upgrade also puts your name in the running to win a knife, and get a free year of online bushcraft training when the platform goes live this fall. Of course, watching the event without the access to the recordings afterwards is completely free of charge, but paying for the extra features is a great way to support the group, and help ensure the Summit continues into the future.
