This special version of our keystone course will take us to the edge of the boreal forest. The course will follow our normal comprehensive syllabus but allow us to go deeper into some of the more specialist skills taught. The practicalities of obtaining wild food will be a key focus for us.
Your days will be filled with hard work, discovery and the satisfaction of achievement and learning. Each skill is carefully explained and expertly demonstrated before you practice the technique for yourself. As new skills are acquired, you will be encouraged to apply them as we build upon what you have learned, increasing both the pace and level of challenge. The end result is self- reliance, closeness to nature and improved self- confidence in the outdoors.
The skills that will be taught during this course include:
Firelighting, including by friction
Shelter Construction
Water Collection & Purification
Plants for food & medicine
Natural Cordage
Hunting & Trapping
Wilderness Fishing Techniques
Safe use of Cutting Tools
Looking after the land and leaving no trace
Backcountry Hygiene
Outdoor Safety
Natural Navigation
