ONE NIGHT COURSE

Our one night course is designed around our 1 day survival fundamentals course which covers fire, water and shelter. As well as this it will also cover natural cordage, cutting tool safety and techniques, knife law and sharpening, and the preparation and cooking of wild game, and it will also give you time to finish your natural shelters to a point where you can stay in them overnight.

The course works by setting a number of goals and skills to be mastered. The instructors will give clear demonstrations of each skill after each demonstration it is up to the group to practise and perfect the technique.

As always, our courses are designed to be fun, instructive and safe. All techniques will be demonstrated with safety in mind. These courses are not designed to test the physical resilience of the participants, but to increase their knowledge and experience. We tailor the courses to suit participants’ abilities and the weather.

The course will start at 0930 on the start date and will finish at 1030 the following day, lunch and dinner will be provided on the Saturday and breakfast on the Sunday.
