In this episode, Jen and Dyana talk with Survival Specialist Jessie Krebs, who shares essential tips for staying alive in the backcountry, covering everything from signaling to self-protection. Krebs, one of the few S.E.R.E. (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) specialists who taught military members how to survive behind enemy lines, also appeared as a contestant on the hit television show "Alone" and offers her own Masterclass in Survival Training. Currently, she teaches a variety of in-person classes at her O.W.L.S. Skills School in Colorado.
