Join Mykel Hawke, author of "Hawke's
Green Beret Survival Manual" and star of Discovery Channel's
"Man, Woman, Wild" for an incredible weekend learning
to survive in the wilderness. Get dirty, get hungry, get tired and survive
to tell about it!
Our newest Specops Survival Adventure is a mini-version of the US Army
Special Forces Survival School Field Exercise and is designed for those
with little or no field experience. You'll learn the basics of survival, including how to find and prepare food and water, how to build
a fire and how to construct a shelter. The program also includes a brief
introduction to wilderness first aid and land navigation.
Participants are required to provide their own medium-size knife for
use during training. (We recommend Hawke's Survivor Knife that you can
order
here, but any medium knife is fine.) Wannabe survivors are also
required to read a survival guide before arriving for training. (We
think you should buy and read Hawke's
book, but another book is OK too.)
We're now taking reservations for training in San Diego, CA (August
13-15) and San Antonio, TX (September 24-26). Additional training sites
and dates will be announced soon. The cost is $1000 per person
and covers the cost of training only. You'll need to cover the
cost of your hotel for Friday and Sunday night, airfare, ground transportation
to the hotel, etc.
This program is so new, it hasn't made it to our website yet, but you
can download
a one-page informational flyer here. If you'd like to receive more
detailed info, contact us by email
or by phone at 800-644-7382.
"Man,
Woman, Wild" debuts on TV's Discovery Channel Friday, July
16th at 9 pm EST. The show stars Mykel Hawke, head of our Specops Adventures
and his journalist wife Ruth
England. See a video preview of the show here.
We
always brag about Greg
"MacGyver" Barron, the head of our Farallones
White Shark Expeditions and his ability to make or fix just about
anything. Last week, Jillian Morris,
Director of our Bahamas Shark Dives, proved she's pretty incredible
at fixing things too.
When Jillian arrived on Grand Bahama Island to begin preparations for
our June 26th Tiger Shark Adventure,
she discovered that someone had "borrowed" our hookah air supply system and returned it to its storage spot missing
a very critical piece. Efforts to get the missing part shipped
to the Bahamas in time for the shark trip failed, but that didn't stop
the trip. Jillian managed to create an air system using dive tanks
rented from our good friends at Unexso, parts from her personal dive
gear and a whole lot of duct tape and zip ties.
We're
incredibly proud and lucky to have a great Adventure Team
of people prepared to do whatever it takes to deliver your incredible
adventure.
In case you're curious, they saw three very big sharks on Saturday's
trip! Our next Bahamas Shark
Dive is scheduled for Saturday, August 7th. Contact
us for complete details.

Last week, the Incredible Adventures website server was hacked.
Someone disabled our back-up system and set about putting nasty
stuff on our server. Thankfully, our incredible web hosting company
Irides, caught
the attack before any major damage was done. Brad and his incredible
team literally worked all night long to undo the damage that had
been done, and get us up and running again.
Unfortunately, to fix everything, Brad had to take down our websites
and block our access to company email for several hours. We don't
THINK we missed any of your messages, but there is a teeny
tiny chance we did. If you're waiting for an answer from us that
hasn't come, please pick up the phone and call us or email us again.
If you're looking for a company to provide you with great dedicated
web hosting and incredible customer service, contact Irides.

"Haven't I signed my life away to you enough over the years?"
That was the comment Andrew jokingly emailed to Greg when reminded
he needed to submit his signed release form before his
July flights.
Andrew is returning to Moscow to fly fighter jets
with Incredible Adventures for the 15th time. That's right....his
15th time. (He's also flown jets in Cape Town.) We
warn people that flying fighter jets is addictive!
If you'd like to see for yourself why Andrew loves flying fighters
so much, contact
MiGMan Greg Claxton.
