Venue: Devon (Near Exeter - EX11 1LU) and Staffordshire (Near Burton upon Trent - DE13 9RW)
Please call us on 01453 752220 for details. We have run courses for government agencies, FTSE100 companies and smaller private firms. Let us help you get the most from your employees.
After an initial brief and instructional session, the team is assigned to construct a camp, prepare their food and administer themselves for the course. The teams will be taught basic survival techniques including fire lighting, shelter construction and cooking methods. This course is most effective when attended by a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 18 people. Initial instruction on the safe use of cutting tools, outdoor hygiene & etiquette is provided. Due to the ever-changing British weather, different materials are provided to suit the conditions.
The course works by setting a number of goals and skills to be mastered and by the team setting their own goals. The instructors will give clear demonstrations on fire lighting, shelter construction, the collection and purification of water and cooking the food provided. As always, our courses are designed to be fun, instructive and safe. All techniques will be demonstrated with safety in mind. These courses are not designed to test the physical resilience of the participants, but their teamwork. We tailor the courses to suit participants' abilities and the weather. A full report on individuals and the team will be returned within 1 week from the termination of the course if requested.
Dates available on request.

Outdoor clothing should be tough and comfortable. Wearing several thin layers is better than a few thick layers. A waterproof jacket and several sweatshirts underneath are sufficient. Jeans should not be worn, as they are slow to dry, clinging and cold. Natural colours or camouflage will give you a better chance of spotting wildlife. Walking boots are ideal, but wellies in wet weather and trainers in dry weather will suffice.
