Survival
school courses
- organised with the aim
to be innovative. The first objective is to create a wider understanding
of nature and to provide essential knowledge and skills to sustain and
save life. The second objective is to have fun learning these skills.
Standard core skills as per main
page.
Training continues to deliver
their training throughout the winter season from November through to
March. The format and principles are
still the same, although some techniques may vary so that the key skills
can be applied to the environment and climate. For example, if
snow cover is present, we will construct snow shelters, but as you will
appreciate, we are unable to guarantee snow.
The
body and mind have a unique ability to cope with challenging and arduous
conditions and it is to this end that the survival
school courses
are structured to provide not only the knowledge and skills to overcome
such conditions, but also to give confidence to those people for whom
the world of adventure is yet to be discovered. There are infinite opportunities
and exciting experiences to be found in the world's remote regions,
from the mountains to the deserts and the jungles to the Poles.
The
instructors come from a variety of backgrounds, including the British
Armed Forces. They are experienced leaders and have spent extended periods
of time in extreme climates and remote regions throughout the world.
Training
run annually in the Isle of Skye and are open to anyone over 18 years
of age.
All skills covered will have to be applied throughout the exercise.
You will live, eat and sleep in the mountains and forest environment
- during some of the more reflective periods, lectures are delivered on
subjects relating to remote environments.
This
course is a natural progression although we do accept candidates with
basic experience.
