About the experience
Are you ready to discover the secrets of bushcraft? With our vouchers, you can choose between three serene backdrops in Derbyshire, Oxfordshire, or East Lothian to spend a full day engaging in bushcraft. Surviving in the wilderness requires four key principles - shelter, food, fire, and water. Our experienced and qualified wilderness instructor will guide you through each one, showing you how to light a fire, prepare food, build a shelter, and collect and purify water. As you explore the woods to your base camp, our knowledgeable trainer will introduce you to the foraging materials around you and how the flora and fauna can help you survive. Our training will show you how to forage for firewood and collect useful materials that are all around you. You will also learn how to design and build your one-man kennel shelter as a group. Once your shelter is soundly constructed, it's time for a hearty lunch. The ingredients for your meal will be "au naturel" and still furry or feathered (vegetarian options are always available). Before you can eat, our expert guides will show you how to prepare your food. It's like a survivor's BBQ! In the afternoon, you'll learn the remaining two survival skills: fire and water. Fire is essential to surviving in the wild; it will keep you warm, cook your food, and protect you from wild animals. Our expert guides will teach you different fire builds, how to select appropriate kindling and tinder, and at least ten creative ways of getting your fire lit. You'll be toasting your tootsies in no time! Finally, we'll teach you the basic elements of sourcing, collecting, filtering, and purifying your water, so you'll never go thirsty. The longest humans can survive without water is around three to five days, so rehydration skills are an essential part of your bushcraft basics. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn essential bushcraft skills! After building your shelter, cooking up some grub, and kindling the campfire, we'll end the day with a walk back through the woods to the cars. Join us for a day of survival and bushcraft skills that you'll never forget.
