Woodland Ways Weekend - Multiple Locations
About the experience
Get back to nature and learn survival skills in an overnight course. No need to be Bear grylls, this is no SAS selection but it is a great way to learn skills that let you survive off the land for a night. The experienced instructors are all qualified in survival, wildlife and first aid. You will have to make your own shelter, start your own fire and possibly even prepare fish, pheasant or rabbit to cook for your own meal. You will also learn how to identify plants and trees and what berries and mushrooms can be foraged. This course is great for beginners or people who want to get out into the great outdoors more.
