People love getting back to basics and survival/bushcraft courses are proving very popular to a wide audience. We’ve taken it a step further and designed a unique challenge: 24 Hour Survival Experience.
We meet on day one, typically a Saturday and the group get briefed on the challenge ahead: survive for the next 24 hours in the wilderness with no tents! The first part of their challenge is a series of workshops where they will learn essential skills they’ll need to get through the challenge:
- Shelter Building
- Navigation
- Fire Starting
- Wilderness First Aid/Rescue Skills
- Leave No Trace / Environmental Issues
Once all workshops are completed the group start their trek to reach high camp, a remote and wild site in the mountains. This is not a difficult walk and takes about 1 hour. When they reach here, their first priority will be to build shelters and start their fire.
This event is available at our base in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains.
This experience is less about the physical challenge and more about learning cool new skills.
