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 some essential skills and truly enjoy your experience. 

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

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. As action packed as this course is you will have 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! A great weekend event that is packed with informative hands-on sessions. Ideal for anyone wanting to learn or build on existing knowledge of survival, bushcraft and wilderness skills.
