Throughout this entire bushcraft course you will be expected to live in a natural
shelter, sleep on a spruce bough bed and cook all your meals on an open
fire. Wild game, fish and basic foods, such as oats, rice and flour
will be provided, however you will be expected to supplement this food
by foraging for wild edibles and fishing.
The Native course is an intermediate level wilderness survival course. It is a natural progression and will expand upon and add to many of the bushcraft techniques learned on the Woodlander course. It is an opportunity to for those who wish to experience life in the woods with minimal equipment, learning advanced wilderness living skills.
