Professional Survival Course
An adrenaline packed day of survival training in the beautiful Northamptonshire woodlands. Test your ability to survive! You will learn the skills needed to find water, make fire to keep warm, and construct a basic shelter from things around you. You will have to work as a team to get your survival kit, locate your campsite and build a shelter.
You will receive professional training that develops your ability to survive in the wild, using elements of the natural environment and your own resourcefulness.
Finally when training time is up you are off on your own, or in a buddy pair, to a new piece of the woodland where for the next night you must do everything yourself. With little more than a survival kit and the clothes you wear, you will have to put all your new found skills to the test. It's down to your wits and will to survive now. Can you cope?!
