Peter
Kummerfeldt Biography
|
Peter Kummerfeldt’s wilderness
and outdoor safety courses teach both the psychological and
the physiological aspects of surviving a wilderness emergency.
This training includes: fire building, emergency shelters,
food and water procurement and preparation, emergency signaling
techniques and rescue and recovery procedures.
Survival stresses that often lead to panic, and sometimes
to death are identified. Planning and preparing for a survival
situation is covered in detail.
Emphasis is placed on putting together a survival kit and
developing the survival skills (building fires, emergency
shelters, finding and purifying water, signaling for help,
) needed to maintain life under extreme wilderness conditions.
Wilderness medicine and the prevention of cold and heat injuries
such as hypothermia, hyperthermia, dehydration, receive special
attention.
For those traveling to altitudes above 8,000 feet programs
are available that address the prevention, recognition and
field treatment of high altitude illnesses such as Acute Mountain
Sickness, (AMS) High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) and High
Altitude Cerebral Edema. (HACE) |
Other seminars cover: surviving in your car,
animal and plant hazards, preventing lightning injuries, commercial
and improvised survival equipment.
The seminars given by Peter Kummerfeldt prepare people to
survive after natural disasters or terrorist attacks and are
particularly relevant in today’s world.
For those traveling overseas programs that focus on the threats
to safe travel, precautions to take to reduce the odds of
becoming the target of thieves or terrorists.
Hands-on training that teaches participants how to stay found
by not getting lost through the use of maps, compass and Global
Positioning Systems is also available. |
