The course starts Saturday 8.30am and finishes Sunday afternoon around 4.00pm You will have 1 night bush camping at beautiful Lake Leschenaultia with a campfire classroom in Chidlow, WA set up for all those interested in learning or honing their basic/advanced survival knowledge on how to have a safer or more adventurous wilderness experience, and of course what to do when ‘Plan A’ is not going the way you intended it to. Many irrational fears cloud people’s engagement with our wilderness – even in the bushlands of suburbia. The fear of snakes, spiders, becoming lost and being alone are all acquired fears. Survival skills can replace fear with respect for, and trust in, nature. Such knowledge enables people to walk freely and feel safer in our natural environment. As a society we need to recapture the survival skills and empathy with nature which our ancestors instinctively knew. True appreciation and understanding of our natural environment may be the only factor that saves it, and, on occasions, us. This course is a contribution to this necessary awareness. Subjects covered include: Psychology of survival Navigation Water procurement techniques Alternative fire-lighting methods Edible and medicinal plants Avoiding poisoning by toxic vegetation Stellar and solar navigation Modern and traditional survival skills Snake awareness Useful and harmful sea coast creatures Day and night signals Plus many more useful lessons to make your outings safer. The course fee: $695.00 (includes GST) per person
