Outdoor activities groups near Plano, IL

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you become lost while on a day hike? How about if you injured yourself miles from civilization and were unable to move? Then, all too quickly dusk approaches and the realization that you will be spending the night in the wilderness begins to sets in. Being prepared for this type of situation and having a well-established plan could mean the difference between life and death. That is why at the “Great Outdoors and Survival”, our chief aim is to help people build their knowledge of wilderness survival skills. Upon learning these skills members will understand how to: become self-sufficient in the wilderness, formulate a concrete plan to getting rescued safely when lost or injured and build outdoor leadership/confidence skills.

The “Great Outdoors and Survival” strongly believe a subject must be mastered before it can be taught; therefore, our teaching methods have been developed through years of education, practice, experiences, and dedication of our instructors and we structure our lesson around a fundamental survival principle commonly known as the Rule’s of 3.

So what are the Rules of 3?

The rule’s of 3 are the guidelines that state you cannot survive more than:

-3 minutes without air

-3 Hours without shelter or proper clothing

-3 days without water

-3 weeks without food

Classes we host:

-Wilderness Survival Kits

-Shelter Building

-Wild Edible Plants

-Tracking

-Fire Starting

-Water Purification

-Land Navigation

And much much more…

Anyone can join us as long as you are willing to learn how to defend your self and to have good time with other learner, also it will be good to someone who are looking for new activities for family time

Hello Ladies! We are two body positive best friends who want to create a fun and safe space for fat girls like us. We had this group years ago and decided to restart it since we're both living in the area again. Sometimes, there's no one who can relate to you like a fellow fat girl and we want to embrace that. Things to expect from this group are dinner dates, plus size shopping/clothing swaps, walk and talks (not a weight loss group-but activity is good for the soul), board game nights, and whatever the hell else we want to do. If you're nervous or shy I encourage you to fight that and please come meet us!

Drums may be mankind’s oldest instrument. We have found drums made with alligator skins from Neolithic cultures in China dating back to 5500–2350 BC. Other drums likely predated humanity itself, with modern macaque monkeys and even rats using percussion for social communication. Some form of drums are part of every human culture known today.

Almost as old as the invention of drums was the invention of clothes. It was our ancestors that started the habit, using animal skins to help them survive bitter winters and even ice ages. Like drums, clothing also became a means of social communication - mostly as a means to communicate rank or status, or to show membership in a tribe or culture.

In a world that is being split apart over class disparity and tribalism, nudity is the great equalizer. Any man or a woman without their cloths looks very much like any other. There is no conservatism, or liberalism, and little to distinguish wealth or status.

The purpose of this group will be to celebrate our humanity by sharing in an activity from deep in our history. By removing our clothes we will, for a time, set aside the things that divide us and join back together in the human tribe.  The music we create will be organic with no master plan, and each drummer helping to shape and direct the music of the community.

Principals

• This is a place of welcome.  Everyone is welcome to participate, regardless of background, body shape, or musical experience.

• This is a place of safety.  There will be zero tolerance for harassment or stalking behavior.

• This is a place free of body shame.  Comments on appearance will likely be interpreted as harassment. (see above)

• This is a place of kindness.  Be good to one another, and look to build each-other up.

• This is a place of trust.  To be naked is to be vulnerable, and that vulnerability must be appreciated and not exploited.

• This is a place of participation.  This is not a group for spectators.

“For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands”
