During times that may present our species with critical moments of survival, THP teaches people to become the best possible human in even the worst possible circumstances.

All Texas Classes are highly focused on hands-on learning. Classes include the areas of: wilderness survival and bushcraft, primitive living skills, wilderness medicine, herbology, self defense, awareness, local ecology and outdoor fitness, as well as classes in the areas of permaculture, aquaponics and green homesteading.

THP's primary goal is to teach practical, earth-centered skills that connect students both to the earth and to themselves. Particularly in the more advanced classes, the THP learning environment is often "scenario-based" (generally in some variation of a breakdown of social order as we currently know it) in order to create a more realistic setting (often adding in varying amounts of adrenaline to the learning experience) and increase the amount of information learned and retained by students.
