Description
The aim of this course is to teach you the skills needed to survive and thrive in the wilderness and woodlands. You will learn about knife saws and cutting techniques, shelter building, fire lighting, fish filleting and cooking (may be trout or salmon) along with knife law.
This course is based around the “explain, demonstrate, imitate, practice” technique which means you will get hands on experience as well as theoretical explanations. The instructors will be with you every step to help during the practical stages.

Outdoor clothing
Outdoor clothing should be tough and comfortable. When it is climatic weather, wearing several thin layers is better than a few thick layers. A waterproof jacket and several sweatshirts underneath are sufficient. Jeans should not be worn, as they are slow to dry, clinging and cold. Natural colours or camouflage will give you a better chance of spotting wildlife. Walking boots are ideal, but wellies in wet weather and trainers in dry weather will suffice.
Please pack your water, antibacterial wipes/soap and insect repellent at the top of your bag.
Alcohol is not permitted on any course.
If you are dropping your children at the school, you must ensure that they have all equipment listed above; we are unable to provide them with anything after you have departed.
