Level 3 – Self-Reliance marks the stage where the participant stops depending on instruction and begins to act with true autonomy.
This level is designed to strengthen self-sufficiency, risk management, and confidence in one’s own decisions under real isolation and challenge.
Students learn to survive with limited resources, crafting tools, shelters, and systems for food and water procurement from their surroundings.
They also build mental endurance strategies, long-term planning, and adaptive responses to unforeseen circumstances.
At this stage, survival becomes more than a skill — it becomes a mindset and a way of being.
Goal: To develop total self-sufficiency and full confidence in both physical and mental capabilities.
