"As a total beginner to outdoor activities like this, the 24 hour challenged me and taught me invaluable skills. I am far more confident in going and wild camping in my own."David Rubridge
Bear's team of highly trained experts will facilitate learning, offer advice and guide participants through this survival experience, compressed into an overnight course.
Learn to forage for wild food, identify animal runs and lay traps, navigate naturally, build emergency shelters, stalking, how to protect yourself in the wild from attack, tie knots and move like Bear in order to safely cross difficult terrain such as rivers, lakes and steep ground by any means.
This is not a military boot camp and it's much, much more than a bushcraft course. This is an exclusive course. From hour one you will be lead into the wilderness and during the course you will receive limited food and water. You will have to forage for anything else to supplement your diet and use your skills to self-rescue within the allotted time.
These are just some of the activities you may undertake during the Primal Survival Group Adventure with the Bear Grylls Survival Academy:
*NOTE: All activities are weather dependent
Setting traps and snares
Crossing the river using rope systems
ABOUT THE COURSE
Evening meal, breakfast and snacks, accommodation (built shelters), and selected kit included - see our kit list for full details
South Downs (near London)
Though less than an hour from London by train, this landscape has plenty of difficult terrain, including rivers, lakes, steep ascents and undulating countryside. In British winter and summer conditions alike, it will be a challenging and demanding environment in which to survive.
These items will all help you to survive! Please note, all of the clothing and equipment that you bring must be appropriate to the environment and the time of year. This is just a guide and you may not require all the kit. Your instructors will let you know what to take out into the wilderness on arrival-any extra kit can be secured at base camp.
With ankle support
Thin and active outdoor gloves
Weather Dependant
Fresh clothes to change into after the course ends.
…and don't forget a bag full of positive attitude!
