Here are the different survival skills and techniques you’ll learn in our Level 1 Survival workshop:

Foraging (Level 1)

Safety Gloves
Foraging is the age-old practice of gathering food, resources, and materials from the natural environment. It's a skill that was once second nature to our ancestors, allowing them to thrive in the wilderness. In our modern era, where we're often disconnected from nature, rediscovering the art of foraging is a vital step towards reconnecting with the environment and learning to be self-reliant in the great outdoors.
- Water Filtration
- Fire Lighting
- Shelter Building
- Food (e.g identification of edible, non-edible species)
Participants will be taught the significance of foraging in camping, understanding its meaning and importance. Trainers will lead a walk in the campsite to learn how to search for resources, identify hazards, and then participants will have the chance to apply their knowledge in a quest to find specific items within the campground.

Wood sawing and chopping are essential survival skills with diverse benefits. They enable us to gather firewood for warmth and cooking, build shelters, craft tools, and create signal fires for communication and navigation. These skills also grant access to valuable resources and help in campsite preparation. Mastering wood sawing and chopping enhances our self-reliance in the wild, making them indispensable abilities for any outdoor adventurer.
- Natural Shelter Building
- Collect firewood
- Building bushcraft tools
- Build furniture
Participants will learn how to use different folding hand saws (Katana boy and Pocket boy) and various types of axes (Splitting Axe and Hatchet) for woodwork. They will receive demonstrations on proper handling and safety measures. During the session, participants will have hands-on opportunities to saw logs, cut branches, and chop wood into smaller pieces, enhancing their bushcraft skills.

Fire lighting (Level 1)

Safety Gloves
Ferrocerium rod
Knife
Brand: Morakniv Bushcraft BlackBlade
Colour: Black
Weight: 174 G
Length: 26 CM
Note: The back of the saw blade can be used to strike the Ferro rod as well!
Firelighting is a primal skill that has been passed down through generations, enabling humans to harness the power of fire for warmth, protection, cooking, and signaling for help. In the context of survival, mastering the art of firelighting is absolutely crucial.
- Cooking
- Warmth
- Deter wild animals
- Boiling/ purification of water
Trainers will explain the significance of fire lighting and provide detailed information about the necessary resources and methods. A demonstration will be given, highlighting safety precautions. Subsequently, participants will forage for suitable resources required for starting and maintaining a fire, applying their newly acquired knowledge in a practical setting.

Knots and Lashing (Level 1)

550 Paracords
Knots and lashing are invaluable survival skills that offer diverse advantages in the wilderness. These skills enable us to secure equipment, build shelters, and craft tools and weapons effectively. Additionally, they play a crucial role in rescue and emergency situations, making them essential for any outdoor enthusiast seeking self-reliance and adaptability in nature.
To be used for:
- Rescue
- Securing things together
- Lowering/ lifting items
- Securing things in place
- Improvised first aid
Trainers will introduce three different types of knots and lashing, and show you the various ways we can apply these to our outdoor experience. If you had always thought you could never tie these knots, or believed only experts can achieve them, fear not! Our compassionate trainers will be there to guide you step by step, instilling confidence as you practice. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can master these skills, and we're here to support you every step of the way. So get ready to embrace the challenge and have a rewarding experience!

Now, that’s all for our Level 1 Survival Workshop. We have Level 2 and Level 3, which you can read more about in their respective articles linked below.
