Your brain is the best tool you have when dealing with emergencies. The more knowledge you have, the less stuff you need, and the more confidently you can handle a wide range of scenarios.

The Prepared has the best online video courses around, that are the same or better as an in-person class and often taught by some of the same instructors below, as well as these free skill guides.

But sometimes you just want to physically be with other people to ask random questions and enjoy spending time away from home with local, like-minded folks.

This list is crowdsourced, lead by community member Lucas Pflueger, and frequently updated over time. It’s not exhaustive and we don’t endorse anything on this list — it’s just a directory of local teachers who have passed a basic sniff test.
