Survival & Bushcraft Weekend
A fundamental Survival & Bushcraft Course with the emphasis on hands-on learning. The course covers fire, shelter, food, water and much more. A safe, fun learning experience which will make a hotel break away never seem the same again!
Locations
- Devon
- Staffordshire
What does the activity include?
These courses are fully hands on, practical courses conducted entirely in the wilderness. The course meets at 7pm on the Friday. You will be shown your camp and shelters for the first night. You will be shown how to light the fire, and then you will prepare your evening meal of trout, rabbit or pigeon. On the Saturday you will make your own Damper bread, learn about traps and snares, set your own snare, build your own shelter entirely from natural materials in the woods. You will also learn how to light fire by friction, more importantly you will get the chance to do it yourself. We will also give you a guided tour of the woods to show you dozens of edible plants. You can try them yourself. We will also spend time on game preparation, water preparation, backwoodsman’s candles and natural navigation. On Saturday night you will be sleeping in the shelter you built. On the Sunday we will teach you about navigation, natural cordage and knife/axe sharpening. The last event is the Woodland Sauna. This is probably the highlight of the course. A truly memorable experience!
