Britain's What's On Event Guide
Bushcraft & Survival Weekend
Whether you are a complete beginner or someone who is looking to put knowledge of the fundamental bushcraft skills into practise, the Bushcraft & Survival weekend covers the essential techniques to live in the outdoors confidently and as comfortably as possible.
Our base is deep within ancient mixed broadleaf and coniferous woodland, with an expedition-style teaching environment and eco-friendly composting toilet. Under cover, the communal camp fire area has a hot kettle constantly over the fire with coffee, tea, squash, and water freely available at all times. The course is self-catering, with the ability to cook over a fire or gas stove.
We will go into depth into the critical areas of Shelter, Fire and Water. You will be given expert instruction and demonstrations and there will be plenty of time dedicated for you to apply and develop your skills throughout the course under the friendly guidance of our instructors.
Whilst woodland camping over 2 days and 2 nights, you will have the opportunity to try out modern tarp and hammock sleep systems or you can choose to stay in your own tent.
You will master that most fundamental skill for self-reliance, making fire, in any conditions. From this point you then have warmth, light, the ability to cook, and to purify water.
You will learn how to find water, make it safe and ensure that all of your activities leave no lasting trace on the environment.
On the Saturday night, should you choose to, you can experience sleeping in your own natural shelter as our ancestors did, with the added luxury of a sleeping bag of course, plus we’ll provide you with a bivy bag to keep you dry and comfortable!
If you do not have a tent or tarp of your own, let us know in advance and we can arrange to lend you one for the course (on a first come first served basis). We do not wish lack of equipment to restrict the opportunity for others to enjoy the outdoors.
