Specialists in outdoor wilderness survival courses
During these five days the Wilderness will become your best friend. Plants and trees you once walked past without noticing will reveal themselves to you in the form of food, medicine, cordage, fire, shelter, direction pointers, fresh water indicators and even a never ending tool box. This course balances a wealth of information with time to put the skills into practice. These skills, once mastered and fully understood will always be with you where ever you are in the world.
By the final day you will have learnt how to…..
This course is run from a remote woodland in mid Devon. It involves proper outdoor work and will go ahead whatever the weather. Some of the skills involve an individual effort and others involve some teamwork with other members of the group. On the final day you will be given the opportunity to take a practical test incorporating all the skills taught on the course with a prize for the winner. During the five day course there will be two walks of around four hours over undulating ground, so although a certain level of walking fitness is required you do not have to be superfit, just healthy and willing to get stuck in.
'I would suggest a course with Wilderness Survival skills to anybody. The instruction is spot on, the skills taught are a great foundation for those starting out and to those who have been honing their skills for many years. The Instructors are approachable and friendly and their subject knowledge is top notch. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with WSS and I have used many of the techniques I learnt on the course since coming back home. If you opt for one of their courses you will get value for your money beyond belief, I hope to get back one day myself.' Phil Spamel
