Survival Skills Course - Sussex
Develop Survival Skills in Sussex
Spend 5 days putting your survival skills to the test in 300 acres of woodland deep in the heart of the Ashdown Forest. You will be thrown in at the deep end and will need to refine your shelter, fire lighting and water collection skills overseen by an experienced instructor throughout the course in order to spend time finding food and learning the new skills being taught. You will only be allowed the bare minimum of kit and equipment for this course and you will all be provided with a knife which is yours to keep.
