Survival Skills / Bushcraft

Kids party shelter building at Outdoor Elements in Lancashire

Description

What is Bushcraft /Survival Skills?

Participants will be questioned about what we need to survive and arrive at the 4 essentials: air, water, food and shelter. Using the rule of 3’s they will learn how long they can survive without these essentials.

Practical elements of the course include shelter building using tarp sheets and rope or natural materials. Fire lighting using matches or lighters; or have a go at lighting a fire by another method!

Once the shelter is built and the fire lit enjoy toasting marshmallows, bread or something more… and boiling up water for a brew. Bush tucker is also a possibility with foraging for edible plants.
