Course Information
Learn new skills Bear Grylls style on our overnight adventure - what will your group do to survive?
This tailored overnight camping adventure is a great introduction to learn wilderness survival skills with your group.
It teaches Bear’s tried and tested survival techniques and is lead by his expert, knowledgeable and experienced instructors. Learn how to set traps & snares and identify animal runs, to forage for wild edible food to supplement your diet, how to build your emergency survival shelter and create a fire that will keep you alive. Although only an overnight course, lots is packed in, its fast and dynamic.
You will move through the terrain fast and efficiently and learn how to navigate without a compass. For your evening meal, and cooked over an open fire, you'll prepare wild game such as fish, rabbit or pigeon. By night you will learn more skills with astro navigation techniques and preparing your camp to keep everyone safe overnight.
