Natural Cordage: explore how our ancestors used natural materials to make cordage (string) and make yourself a ‘survival bracelet’.
Fire: from a spark to a flame and further. We will look at how our ancestors made and harnessed fire Then teach you the best materials to gather and how to prepare them ready for the final stage of lighting your fire using a simple, but effective, fire lay.
Food: this is the one you will need to bring. However, we will finish the day with a few little outdoor cooked bits n bobs. We will also provide hot drinks throughout the day, you just need to bring your mugs.
