On Land

Bushcraft and survival

Learn to light fires, build shelters and cook outdoors with a skilled instructor. Bushcraft is the craft of living well outdoors. A taster day might cover lighting a fire, building a shelter, cooking over embers and finding your way.

Longer survival courses go further, with nights outdoors and nationally recognised qualifications. Ask what kit you need to bring and what the plan is for wet weather.
