Survival Skills & Wild Camping

Our Survival skills & Wild Camping experience takes place on remote privately owned land within the Brecon Beacons National park. You will be taught essential survival skills that will enable you to create a functioning expedition camp. Using a variety of techniques you will learn how to make your own comfortable natural shelter, how to light and manage a fire, how to arrange a fire for cooking and many other wilderness skills.

For our standard experience we drive as close as possible to the site and then there is a 15 minute walk carrying equipment onto the site. If you are looking for a more challenging experience you have the option of an indoor briefing nearby and a navigational hike to the camp.

On arrival your group will set up a Parachute canopy that will act as shelter and base for your stay.

Half  Day Survival skills typically include:
*Emergency Shelter Building
*Friction Fire and other methods
*Finding and sustaining water

Full day Survival skills may also include:
*Navigation
*Trapping
*Foraging- search for edible foods
