Highlights
This session takes place in our purpose built outdoor Bushcraft Classroom. This gives us the perfect environment to maximise the time to teach you about the most important aspects of survival - Shelter, Fire, Food and Water. There is a parachute shelter so the rain doesn't bother us and we have a store of dry wood to ensure success in firelighting. All the materials are to hand so we can concentrate on the skills.
SHELTER • Learn about different types of shelter and have a go at building your own. -FIRE • Discover different methods of fire lighting and set your own fire that you will build from a spark. -FOOD & WATER • Understand the dangers of poor decision making in this area and use the fire to brew up some 'bush tea' and make a simple 'bush snack' (for our younger and young at heart participants this could be marshmallows to roast!!
