As a leader in our industry for 15 years, we are often imitated by other schools. Even our original name; “Survival Training School Of California” was closely copied by others. We set the standard the industry follows.

We do not have to make questionable claims about our legitimacy, or the size of our operation. We let the public speak for us.

”On behalf of the Palm Springs Mounted Police Search and Rescue Unit, I want to thank you for an outstanding day of instruction. Your presentation was informative, detailed, valuable and extremely interesting. Your curriculum covered wide and varied topics relevant to our mission to aid lost and/or injured residents and visitors to our local mountains and desert, while at the same time staying safe and confident when in the harsh wilderness extremes in which we operate. You were able to enhance our skills by providing instruction in areas of wilderness survival and first aid, and your presentation was both humorous and based in real-world experience. We can immediately apply what we learned from you and will incorporate your techniques in our training and rescues. You can count on us to inform other units with whom we come into contact about your school and encourage them to utilize your services. Thank you again.”

Yours in service to others,

Lieutenant Joe Aguanno
