Half-day Introduction to Wilderness Survival
4-5 hour tour, including lunch
Our survival course is an opportunity for expert training from specialised instructors in a relaxed, stress-free environment. Providing all the tools you need before setting off on a forest hike, you will be taught the basic elements of survival priorities, kit mentality, how best to make a fire, navigate and find edible plants. A low-intensity class with short walking distances at a slow pace and relaxed lunch, this is a good chance to discuss resources like fire components and sheltering.
Core lessons include gear selection; tool maintenance; camp location priorities; elements of fire and fire building; simple emergency shelter construction; primary water collection and disinfection; understanding a compass; and rescue signals and hallmarks of search and rescue.
