This is our next step in survival course and runs alongside our SURVIVE 24 course but is aimed at providing a the basics and then building in a more in-depth knowledge in a number of key areas. Your second night will give you a real sense of surviving alone in the wilderness.
We’ll get you settled in the woodland with hot drinks and issue you with some kit and equipment for your stay. Before setting up camp we’ll make sure you know how everything works and help you find a suitable location to bed down for the night, then you’ll prepare your first meal by the fire.
We can’t guarantee the weather (it’s Cornwall after all and we know that there’s no such thing as bad weather, only weather inappropriate clothing!) but we assure you that you’ll learn a heap of useful stuff and have a memorable experience.
This course is suitable for anyone aged 14 and over, Under 18s must be accompanied by a paying adult.
Please note – This course includes the preparation of animals for food. If this element is not for you please let us know, you’re welcome to participate in this course and sit this element out.
