First off, sorry if this has been covered. I tried to do a search but it said the search function has been disabled.
My question is: to what extent will I learn wilderness survival techniques in BMQ? I ask only because I am considering signing up for a survival course (for personal reasons) but if the skills learned in BMQ will match or succeed those that I can learn from a civilian course I will just wait for BMQ and save the money. I understand we will learn basic map and compass use in BMQ but what else is covered? Wild edibles? Primitive survival skills? Advanced fire building skills (fire bow, hand drill)? Wilderness emergency first aid? Shelter buidling? I am interested mainly because I am an outdoors enthusiast, but I've only ever done reading on the subject of survival (oh, and watching every episode of Survivorman) and never taken the proper precaution of being professionally trained.
Thanks for any info you can provide ;D
P.S. I am HOPEFULLY starting basic sometime in the new fiscal year, as I have recently passed my interview and been put on the merit list.
