About
Join our instructors, Jess and Megan, to learn all the skills you need to survive in the wilds of the Essex/Suffolk borderlands!
We'll start with a quick introduction to what survival training is all about over a cup of tea. You'll then learn how to safely use various useful bladed tools in a survival situation, from folding and fixed bladed knives to small axes and saws.
You'll learn how to keep yourself alive in a tough spot by focusing on the priorities of survival; air, water, fire and shelter.
But what about the food, you ask? Well, the session is only for three hours and you should be able to survive that long without…but why would you want to? S'mores, toast and tea will be waiting, so you'd better listen closely to the firelighting instructions and build your campfire well.
This is a useful session for any woman who wants to get into bushcraft, go on a big hike or camping trip, feel stronger and more self-sufficient in life, learn new and interesting things, get back to nature, or just have a lovely afternoon in beautiful surroundings with like-minded people!
Adults and 16+ only. NO MEN! (Men will get their own opportunity for a male only session in November with Mark and Fred)

Public Transport Directions
Train: We're a five-minute walk up a country road from Bures railway station. Turn left out of the station, left again (be very careful of the road) and take the first left immediately after the bridge. Keep walking, out of the village and along the country road, until you see our signs near a farm.
