Trackways

In the advanced course we will use survival skills to live in a semi-survival situation. We will build our own shelters, forage for food and make tools needed for longer-term survival

We will have the opportunity to put in to practice the lessons of the wild craft primitive survival skills course and practice some modifications to the simple survival skills to enhance their effectiveness.

Participants need to have a reasonable level of fitness to attend this class. All meals will be provided to maximize teaching time, though at least one foraged meal will be included.

The wild craft survival course is a pre requisite for this course. This course is also recommended for those taking the year course.

We encourage full participation with all activities and ask for some assistance with basic food preparation and camp duties.
