Have you ever watched the Bushcraft programmes on TV (Ray Mears, Bear Grylls etc), and have wished that you could do something like that, Well you can, Just book yourself in for a Bushcraft Course and experience it for yourself, Or even better bring along a friend and do it together,
This Bushcraft Course is a challenge, Anyone who takes this Bushcraft Course will be able to look after themselves quite well afterwards,
It is designed with people in mind who backpack, travel, hike or just generally go walkabouts, or the individual or group who wish to learn and face a challenge at the end, As well as the obvious of learning to enjoy the outdoor life,
You will cover the same content as in the 3 day bushcraft course for the first few days, this is a must as we need to know that you have the knowledge to survive, Then you are transported by Landrover to a new destination and dropped off along with a couple of Instructors,
This is where your challenge begins -------- The Instructors that were dropped off with you are only there in the interests of safety and occasional advice, They will observe from afar, You will have to put into practice what you have learnt,
Most people who takes this BushcraftCourse find it challenging but very rewarding,
And of course they know they have achieved something big at the end of the day,
As I have explained before there will be trained Instructorsnot too far away keeping an eye on all of you, They are there for your safety, We do not believe it is fair to drop people in unfamiliar territory and leave them all alone, After all you are just learning, Our Instructors already have had years of experience,
You will have to fend for yourselves on the second part of the 5 day course, but you will have been taught all this prior to being dropped off,
