Woodland Survival Day

This one day introduction to woodland survival offers the ideal opportunity to take a step into the world of bushcraft.

Courses scheduled for: 20th April 2013

You will learn how to construct an emergency shelter, light a fire without matches, how to cook over an open fire, forage for wild food and much much more. You will be instructed in the safe use of knife, saw and axe, the essential equipment used in bushcraft survival. Simply a great day out!

The topics covered in this course may vary depending on the season. However if there is a specific area you are interested in please feel free to ask your instructor who will be happy to share their wealth of knowledge and experience with you.

Although this course is not designed as an endurance test a reasonable level of fitness is required. No previous bushcraft experience necessary.

A delightful bushcraft experience for those who would like to learn the basic techniques but do not feel ready to spend a night out in the open.

• An introduction to the tools and equipment of Bushcraft,
including the safe handling of axes, knives and saws.
• The survival mind, learning how to think like a survivor.
• Fire lighting using friction and other methods.
• Shelter building.
