Jeff Lunsford says he wanted to take the class.
"The odds are pretty slim, but this is very interesting," says Lunsford. "All of us want to travel. All of us want to be out and about."
As part of the training, Bennett shows students what to carry when traveling. There are maps, walkie talkies, first aid kit, and a water bottle called Grayl which can purify water.
Bennett also shows techniques like how to defend yourself.
