Survival Bushcraft and Wilderness Skills Weekend

Our Survival Bushcraft and Wilderness Skills Weekend is an action packed event covering many sessions that will leave you feeling more confident in your future outdoor adventures. This course is tailored for all abilities and experiences. We have planned this event so you get the most out of your weekend, learn a lot and enjoy yourself.

Here is what you will get up to:

• Knife safety and cutting techniques
• How to use a tarp
• Game preparation- Bird & Mammal
• Making damper bread
• Shelter building
• Traps, snares and the legal aspects
• Cordage and knots
• Foraging- An insight into edible, medicinal and poisonous flora
• Signalling and rescue
• Knife law and maintenance
• Natural navigation and moving on
• Finding and making safe water
• Fire lighting

All of the sessions that we teach over the duration of this event will be delivered by an experienced member of our team. The sessions will be both informative and hands on.  When you arrive in our beautiful woodland camp on Friday our activities will begin. On the first night you will be spending the evening under a tarpaulin, a great way to truly experience the outdoors. The following day you will be making your own shelters from natural resources and sleeping in them.

As action packed as this course is we will  give you some down time to do as you wish; perhaps to practice some of your newly found skills or to just sit back and take in the surrounding scenery and wildlife. This really is an unforgettable weekend. Don’t just take our word for it, come along and experience it.

This course will take place at Cotehele, Cornwall.
