Byron Kerns Survival School
“As a former U.S. Air Force Survival (SERE) Instructor, Class 71-02, there exists within
me a duty to share the survival skills and knowledge learned over the past several
decades. Sometimes I even share a few wilderness stories. And, most of them are true.
Every now and then, I’ll do some teachings in a rustic classroom or in a fancy building,
but most often Byron’s students and he are in the woods and learning in the woods. In the
heat and humidity. In the cold and in the rain. With the bugs, the snakes, the gators, the
bears, and all the other critters. One day, two, three days, or more. Come and get some
of this knowledge. Gain some experience. And, get ready … get ready … to feel your
confidence soar.” http://www.byronkernssurvival.com/
