Located in Tasmania’s rugged heartland near Evandale and Kings Meadows, Survival Courses Tasmania offers an authentic climb into the world of practical wilderness skills with its Intermediate Survival Course 1. Set against the backdrop of Tasmania’s diverse terrain—ranging from soft temperate rainforests to windswept plateaus—this full-day experience pushes beyond basic survival, teaching techniques that are both time-tested and tailored to this island’s unique environment.
Tasmania’s wild landscapes are layered with dense eucalyptus forests, ancient myrtle beech groves, and sprawling fern gullies. The course takes advantage of these features to immerse students in true fieldcraft, from interpreting natural navigation cues using the sun, stars, and terrain landmarks to advanced water procurement methods like transpiration – crucial in a place where fresh water can sometimes be elusive. Fire-making moves beyond matches here, with instructors guiding participants in friction fire techniques and innovations such as char cloth production, helping learners to create reliable flame sources in any condition.
What sets this course apart is its location on pristine bushland or a small wild island, where participants engage hands-on with Tasmania’s native flora and fauna. The knowledge shared includes crafting improvised tools from natural materials—an invaluable skill in remote environments. Workshops also cover fishing techniques using handmade lures and setting snares, reflecting traditional skills adapted to Tasmania’s wilderness.
Survival Courses Tasmania’s instructors bring international training into this local context, anchoring their teaching in practical challenges more often encountered here than elsewhere in Australia. This course is a standout option for adventurers seeking to build confidence and resilience in an environment where nature’s conditions can be unpredictable.
