Severe Weather Safety. Outdoor Survival.
Welcome to THE ELEMENTS Survival Training®.
Founded by U.S. Army Sgt. Therin Miller II and Meteorologist Owen Shieh, our mission is to provide interactive, hands-on training courses for anyone interested in preparing for the hazards associated with severe weather and the great outdoors.
Our company was founded in central Oklahoma, in the heart of Tornado Alley, where the effects of severe weather are felt each year with many lives lost in vain due to the lack of preparation. But since nature knows no geographic bounds, those who travel or venture outdoors regardless of location must be prepared to respond to unique challenges to mitigate the possibility of accidents. Thus, our company is expanding and offering courses in other states, beginning with Colorado. Please check the Courses page for the latest updates.
Unlike most outdoor or wilderness survival programs that simply focus on survival or first aid-related skills, we offer expert training in severe weather hazards mitigation and prediction from a meteorologist at the University of Hawai'i combined with the outdoor expertise of a surveyor in the U.S. Army and an EMT-Paramedic. Our team of instructors is prepared to offer the latest in weather forecasting, land navigation, and emergency medical skills to help you prepare for the elements. Please see the Instructors page for more information.
