Immerse yourself in the natural world for 24 hours and get back to how our ancestors used to live. You will leave feeling relaxed and refreshed and with lots of new skills to use and practice. Suitable for anyone who loves being outside and wants to learn new skills to use on future trips into the wilderness or/and for those who want to sleep out but need their confidence and skills building to make themselves comfortable.

You will:

• Learn knife and saw skills
• Make mallets, tent pegs, traps and pot hangers
• Learn useful knots
• Erect tarps
• Build debris shelters
• Have the opportunity to sleep in a shelter you made
• Learn different fire lighting techniques including friction (rubbing sticks together)
• Make cordage out of plant fibres
• Learn to navigate by the stars (if they are out)
• Prepare wild fresh game for dinner (optional… we can also cater for vegetarians)

After your night under the stars why not stay under canvas in one of our luxury bell tents. All the details are here at 'The Forge'
