4 Water will be available at base camp to fill your containers. Your instructor is JOHN HURTH, US Army Special Forces (Ret), and author of the "Combat Tracking Guide" published by Stackpole Books. Note: All of our courses are taught completely outdoors. We do not lecture or use power point presentations to conduct our classes. Students will be immersed in the operational environment from beginning to end. With that said all who attend must be in good physical condition and able to walk every day 4-8 miles over rugged terrain. We will operate out of a camp and you will have access to your vehicles. Your assault pack should be large enough to carry water, food and other clothing and equipment that you will need for the days training. Camelback style hydration system or Nalgene type bottles that can be attached to your gear for easy access is acceptable. The ghillie top can be handmade or bought. I personally use a Viper hood produced from Tactical Concealment but handmade or store bought are both ok. Some examples are shown below. 4

5 If you have any questions concerning the class please us at Note from John: We have received a few questions asking how physically strenuous our classes are: Since TÝR Group began our classes in 2010, we have had male and female students attend who were as young as 16 and as old as 67 years of age. The level of difficulty may depend on terrain and weather. We set up a base camp that we start from and return to every day. The amount of weight you carry each day depends on what YOU need to sustain yourself during the days training, such as food, water, extra clothing, or other survival items. Your camping equipment is whatever you are comfortable with. I don't make it a requirement that students remain in the camp overnight. We try to keep the cost down for our customers. Our students do have the option to stay at a hotel, however it is their responsibility to make it to training on time, with the proper equipment and ready to train. If you have any questions concerning our classes please contact us at: info@tyrgroupllc.com. Always the Hunter, Never the Hunted! John 5
