Has anyone taken this course? It looks fun but could also be a little..... LARPy....

I have done some courses before so this looks to put a little spin on it.

Might just stick to taking rifles 1+2
 
I've not taken it. But I would say that traditional field craft is not "larpy". It's just something most folks don't practice.

It's a skill to at least have a basic understanding of. I think anyone in our hobby would enjoy the knowledge gained from such a class.

If you are an operational operator operating operationally then you've probably been through the school and got the shirt already.

Me personally. If I had done a few of the basic and advanced courses from Rifles Only and enjoyed them. I would look at taking that class too.
 
Something to be said for being competent in the outdoors, I was a SAR volunteer in CA the academy was 6 weeks of First Aid, Land Nav, Man Tracking and so on. Followed by a couple weeks of High Angle Rescue. All pre 24 HR GPS, its a comforting skill set out in the mountains

As someone who is also SAR I 100% agree, I have taken things like high angle, sartech 2, wfr, land nav and few other small end courses, I guess what I wanted to ask without sounding super arrogant is how advanced is this classes or is it something super entry level with a tactical flair to reel people in. I know rifles only is a very respected training organization I just have never herd anyone talk about this course before.
