A free foundation course (FIR free tier, BSE 099–102) that deepens BSE 099. 10 hours across 5 blocks. Takes the Get Home Bag you built in BSE 099 and turns it into a tested survival capability: a tiered kit system, the hard truth about moving on foot, water and caloric sustainment, paper-map navigation, and an introduction to open-source intelligence. You finish by walking part of your own route under load and writing an honest after-action report.
