For anyone who has ever watched “Survivorman” or “Man vs. Wild” and wondered how they may fare in the wild, the New Sheridan Hotel in downtown Telluride is offering the Survivor ManCation package.

Instructors from the San Juan Outdoor School, who have previously ben tapped to train US military special forces, will transport visitors to the San Juan Mountains to for a day-long training. Instructors will cover techniques that include fire wood selection, building and maintaining a fire without matches or a lighter, shelter-building and cooking on an open flame.

Guests can return to the New Sheridan Hotel for a round of drinks at the historic bar, where Telluride’s toughest have caroused for 117 years, followed by a dinner of steak, wild game or seafood cooked to perfection at the on-site Chop House restaurant.

A day in the San Juan Mountains will help survival students truly appreciate the hotel’s 100 percent Egyptian cotton sheets, scenic roof-top hot tubs, heated bathroom floor tiles, plush robes and other amenities that were recently added during a multi-million dollar renovation completed five months ago.

The Survivor ManCation package includes two nights’ accommodations at the New Sheridan Hotel, a full-day wilderness survival skills course offered by the San Juan Outdoor School and a $50 dining and beverage credit for each traveler to enjoy at the Chop House and the historic New Sheridan Bar.

A two-person package is $630 and a four-person package is $1,160. Package prices represent a value of 25 percent off regular hotel rates as well as $50 in free dining and beverage credits. Prices are based on double occupancy and taxes are not included. The Survivor ManCation will be offered through March 31, 2010 and prices may vary by season.
