What we do over the day

We'll start by stripping it right back to the basics, What do we need to survive? Where can we meet those needs in the natural environment? 

Topics covered include 

• Survival priorities - what comes first? Water, shelter, food and fire?
• Water - where to find it and how do we make it safe to drink
• Create fire without matches-modern and traditional techniques.
• Maintaining a fire
• Emergency Shelters - natural materials and improvised with what's in your bag
• Wild edibles and toxic plants
• Bush Safety and Risk management
• Emergency First aid - including snake bite management 
• Equipment selection for the Outdoors-what to pack, including safety equipment
• Rescue and signalling techniques

During this hands on practical event we'll be spending the day in the bush putting all the skills into practice.

This course is designed to give you the peace of mind and confidence to get outdoors and enjoy nature.
