Extend your skill base

The Intermediate Module 3 Bushcraft Survival Course continues on from our Fundamental Module 2 course, further expanding on the various different areas of Bushcraft and traditional skills.

You will extend your skill base as we continue our departure and reliance on modern equipment and delve further into the world of traditional skills and natural resources.

Like our Module 1 and Module 2 courses, you will be taught using a mix of relevant theory and practical bushcraft skills.

This is a challenging course where you will apply the skills learnt in a realistic context.

You will learn to build and live in a natural group shelter, how to make natural bedding, extend your firelighting skills by learning bowdrill troubleshooting and how to source, make and use the hand drill. You will also make tools and camp apparatus such as rush mats, netting needles and nets, continue your natural cordage making abilities using different plant fibres and learn to plait and make rope. You will learn scout cooking using limited resources, learn how to make containers from natural materials and cook in them using hot rock boiling. You will also learn simple traps and trap engines, increase your knowledge of local edible and medicinal plants and navigate and travel using the sun and stars.
