“Mr Diedrich has an interesting professional background, this background has enabled him to coordinate and formulate successful training programs for Search and Rescue programs in Michigan where most of the members are volunteers. Mr. Diedrich is also an excellent networking coordinator where he has brought in other professional personnel with their programs in related fields to aid in the training processes.”

Yes!

Not only can you take survival courses online, but you have an overwhelming amount of courses to choose from. Instead of trying to piece it all together yourself, we have created effective online survival courses from credible instructors.

This helps you eliminate the guesswork, avoiding the countless survival charlatans, and puts you on the fast track to self-reliance.

Learning survival skills at home in a safe environment is much better than learning alone or in a remote area. It allows you to make mistakes in a safe place and prevents potential negative outcomes.

Courses offered by Vargöld provide easy-to-follow instructions that allow students to practice a wide array of skills in an apartment setting.

Although there are endless survival skills and techniques out there, none of them would be effective without the right mental attitude and the physical capacity to back it up.

Your willingness to learn and flexibility to adapt to whatever situation you’re facing is crucial.

Facing Chaos With Confidence

What you don’t know could be fatal.

Every year, thousands of lives are endangered or lost when people venture into the unknown without an appropriate level of knowledge, skills, or abilities.

How reliable are your survival skills? What would happen if circumstance required you to travel several miles by foot from your home to a place of safety? What would happen if you or a loved one became lost in an unfamiliar area?

If your answer to any of these questions is “nothing good,” then you owe it to yourself, and those you care about to improve!

Our online training gives you an important advantage! Developing the expertise necessary to stay in control during a crisis isn’t limited to castaways or military operators.

Anyone who travels, commutes to work or school, or aspires to enjoy the wilderness, will benefit from our training courses. The right time to start learning a survival skill is before you need it.

Being exposed to skills training, from the right instructors, improves your odds of survival before you even step out the door.
