Take a step closer to real survival with our Survival Weekend course. This course is suitable for adventurous beginners and those with some bushcraft experience. *It is more challenging than our Bushcraft Weekend in that you have only basic provisions (flour, oil), game (for example rabbit, pigeons, fish carcasses may be provided depending on availability) and wild plants to sustain you. You will sleep in natural shelters, purify the water that you drink and cook the food you forage using bushcraft cooking methods.

In addition, the course covers knife and saw use, primitive firelighting methods such as sparking and fire by friction. We will demonstrate trapping methods in case you find yourself in a real survival situation, however, no animals will be trapped or killed during the course.

Please note, you will not be thrown in the deep end and left to survive - you will be given guidance and instruction in all the methods throughout.

Client quotes:
"I feel like i have learnt a lot about the native species of trees and plants and how you can utilise them in a survival situation. I really enjoyed the whole experience. I have learnt so much about what nature can provide, though I do wish I could remember all the little details better, and I have had an amazing weekend adventure. I could have done it for longer! I have wanted to do one of these weekends since I was a child and it did not disappoint in the slightest." - D. Helsdon
"A super couple of days providing a real insight to the bushcraft and survival activities - something of an eye opener to the world of nature around us" - A. Kelly
"Excellent all round, really nice approachable tutors, covered loads and had a good chance of trying everything hands on" - R. Hazeldean
