Our Mission
SWFF was formed to enable individuals to be self-reliant in wilderness and urban environments. At SWFF we understand that survival methods aren’t typically utilized, so we have designed a fundamental course of instruction to engage multiple learning styles so that the information is retained and can be applied when it counts.
