Pack your clothes along with your sense of adventure and escape for a couple of days to the woods on this fully catered, immersive experience, with some wild camping accommodation thrown in. You may be learning some survival skills, but don’t be fooled, this is wilderness luxury… well, almost!! We will meet you at 9am on the morning of the first day and give you a tour of our 45 acre private woodland site. Drop your luggage at your accommodation for the weekend and have a quick look around your very own slice of wilderness paradise, on the shores of Windermere lake. Our 6 man Klondike tent is something to behold!  Our day will begin with a bushcraft fire lighting session at base camp, the kettle won't boil itself you know. Now you will get the opportunity to learn how to light fire from sparks and where to collect dry materials to cook up a right bit of bush tucker! It won't be long until the air is full of the aroma of wood smoke and lunch is round the corner.  It's time to get cooking. We hope you skipped breakfast! Stuffed bannock is a staple on all our wilderness trips. Imagine the best fresh bread toasty cooked over a campfire. With a selection of fillings, you can create your own; don't worry about food envy, it's a tear and share kinda deal.  Once we have recovered from our log fire lunch it's time to bring out the bows and arrows and learn the ancient skill of archery. Forget that dusty old archery session you did before. Our field archery range is a real challenge and will have you shooting loads of targets at a range of distances throughout the woods.  After a well earned brew and s’more, it's time to get the rifle out and put that aim to the test. Once you have your eye in, Jungle Lane is waiting. Here we have stacks of targets all over the woods to hunt and hit with your sniper rifle.  Well, that sounds exhausting! Maybe a bit of downtime is needed at your tipi or a wander to the lake before dinner.  Sitting around the campfire enjoying a hearty meal is something we should all do at least once! With the lantern glowing and the fire crackling we can share tales of adventures and listen to the woods wind down for the night. We have another action packed day tomorrow so our beds are calling.  Rise and shine for a hearty cooked breakfast around the fire with tea and coffee galore. Cereals, fruit and juices are all on offer so get charged up and ready for another day full of adventures.  Walking through the woods after breakfast is a bit like reading the morning newspaper. We get the opportunity to see what was happening while we were dreaming of more adventures. Following animal tracks and seeing who was about is a mystery many never observe. Our wanders go in many directions, both geographically and educationally. It all depends on what we see!  After a bit of a stone skimming competition it’s time to get that fire crackling again and a brew on for our morning of whittling and carving. Here you can have a crack at making spoons and learning loads of survival notches for hanging pots and making traps. Your knife is your life out here and using it safely and efficiently is fundamental.  A forest feast awaits! Time to get cooking again and fuelled up for our afternoon hike.   After lunch it's time to get packed up, say goodbye to your camp, and run for the hills!  Our afternoon hike will take us to one of the Lake District’s very best viewpoints, Gummer’s How, with a spectacular rocky summit and one of the best vistas of the entire South Lakeland mountains. We will then head through some of the area's most stunning ancient woodland. Here we will really get to grips with tree ID and foraging. You can also learn some navigation with map and compass and if you're really lucky, see red kites, roe and red deer, foxes and even the rarest of all, the bobble hatted rambler.  All good things must come to an end. With tired legs we will arrive back at our cars and depart for home. An experience to remember, with tales to tell and loads of new skills under your belt, oh and maybe a few extra pounds from all the bannock! ---  All our experiences are offered on a private booking basis for you and your group, and you have complete flexibility to choose your own date for your experience.

Correct clothing and the importance of carrying a simple shelter kit will be discussed, providing something to sleep under, in and on top of. Camp location and dynamic assessment of risk shall be touched upon as well as the issues surrounding losing body heat through the effects of convection, conduction and radiation. We will demonstrate how to quickly erect your tarp shelter and use the best knots to aid in its deconstruction. Building a debris shelter is a key skill in survival, and you will learn how to build a “thermal A frame” survival shelter in the woods. With time and commitment, people have lived in comfort for many weeks in such improvised accommodation. The effects of thermal conduction and the use of raised beds to counter this heat loss will be identified and utilised. Fire Fire is an intrinsic human skill that unlocks the door to survival. We will go over the various methods to create initial flame, as well as the importance of ember management and the preparation of tinder bundles. We will take a short walk through our woods to gather further dry materials to aid in our success of creating fire; even in the pouring rain it is possible so by mastering these skills, the weather will never be a hindrance again. With a comprehensive demonstration of the skills needed to create fire from a spark you will be tasked to put your new skill set into practice to light your own fires. The subject is comprehensive and we will cover the following points: Flint and steel Ferrocerium rods Char material Tinder bundles Stick bundles Fire lays Ethical and safe use, and removal of fire Water Collecting water and making it safe to drink is of paramount importance.

The five contaminates will be identified and also the methods surrounding chemical treatment and mechanical filtration discussed, as well as: Gypsy wells Transpiration Evaporation UV Food Plant identification and foraging is at the heart of bushcraft, and sharing of this knowledge will be a constant throughout the day. We will also touch upon the use of fishing kits, traps and snares. Navigation Using nature as a resource is at the core of the subject of bushcraft. We will learn how to identify direction from the sun, the stars and from the composition of the woods. We will also have a brief map study utilising the skills of modern navigation to prevent becoming lost and planning our travel with our resources in mind. Signalling Audio and visual signals could be the difference between rescue and another night in the woods. Various methods will be demonstrated and practised. Tools Carrying the right tools for the job enables us to thrive outdoors. You will be shown proper and safe use of various tools including knives and saws. You will have the opportunity to make various items from scratch including pegs, pot hangers, traps and tripods to use in your camp.

Join us on a guided day out on one of our favourite walks, an off-the-beaten-track route far from the crowds that flock to the Lake District but still ensconced within the National Park. Our day’s walk will take us through the ancient woodland of Witherslack estate; this 2000 acre estate comprises the largest area of semi-natural woodland in Cumbria. The lofty limestone heights of Whitbarrow Scar dominate the skyline and will provide an impressive vista of Morecambe Bay and Foulshaw Moss Nature Reserve. Meandering through the estate this stunning journey allows us the opportunity to learn and observe coppiced areas of woodland where charcoal was once made by the old “Bodgers”, experience the tranquillity of historical damson orchards and see evidence of red and roe deer who also use the trails, along with a plethora of native flora and fauna. We will as always embrace the opportunity to share our knowledge of the woods and its secrets with you wherever possible. We will explore the limestone pavements of Whitbarrow Scar learning about clinks and grykes and this fascinating glacial geology. Also, the trees grow sideways up here! Local history and the surrounding environment will be discussed with many opportunities to ask questions and discuss the vast subject of survival, bushcraft and our favourite place to be, the woods. The Woodsman’s Walk comprises some steep climbs but is generally a low-level walk, covering a total distance of approximately 15km. A reasonable level of physical fitness is desirable.

We will have a look at what we are carrying in our personal first aid kits and why. These are the same skills as delivered on our Thriver experience, but with much more time allowed to immerse yourself and refine the techniques, and you will sleep out in the wild in the shelter of your own construction. We will also aim to cover more technical fire lighting methods such as feather sticks, and making tools such as bow saws and improvising traps. Learning the skills of tracking and moving with stealth, we will have the chance explore the woods and see who else has been living under the canopy alongside us.

Spending that unplanned night out in the outdoors is always daunting. Always be prepared - learn the skills to be self-sufficient in the wild and implement them in our reality based two day survival training course in the Lake District. This is run as a group course open for mixed bookings, suitable for individuals. Course dates: Saturday 26th September 2026 to Sunday 27th September 2026 With hands on learning to hone your skills over this extended period, you will leave with the confidence that you now own those skills to put in to use when it really matters. Even though you will have access to a highly experienced Survival Instructor throughout, this is a real opportunity to focus your learning and make those skills become second nature. You will also be supported with the necessary items to aid in your survival including buckets of tea and mountains of biscuits!  Over the course of our two days together in a wilderness setting, the key skills of survival will be taught and put into practice. Bushcraft fundamentals will be covered, including the following:  Shelter  The first layer of shelter is actually the clothes you have on your body. Correct clothing and the importance of carrying a simple shelter kit will be discussed, providing something to sleep under, in and on top of. Camp location and dynamic assessment of risk shall be touched upon as well as the issues surrounding losing body heat through the effects of convection, conduction and radiation. We will demonstrate how to quickly erect your tarp shelter and use the best knots to aid in its deconstruction. Building a debris shelter is a key skill in survival. As a group we will build a “thermal A frame” shelter to house one person. With time and commitment, people have lived in comfort for many weeks in such improvised accommodation. The effects of thermal conduction and the use of raised beds to counter this heat loss will be identified and utilised. Fire Fire is an intrinsic human skill that unlocks the door to survival. We will go over the various methods to create initial flame, as well as the importance of ember management and the preparation of tinder bundles. We will take a short walk through our woods to gather further dry materials to aid in our success of creating fire; even in the pouring rain it is possible so by mastering these skills, the weather will never be a hindrance again. With a comprehensive demonstration of the skills needed to create fire from a spark you will be tasked to put your new skill set into practice to light your own fires. The subject is comprehensive and we will cover the following points: Flint and steel Ferrocerium rods Char material Tinder bundles Stick bundles Fire lays Ethical and safe use, and removal of fire Water Collecting water and making it safe to drink is of paramount importance. We will discuss how to find a suitable water source and assess its condition, then collect, filter and boil it to make it safe for consumption. The five contaminates will be identified and also the methods surrounding chemical treatment and mechanical filtration discussed, as well as: Gypsy wells Transpiration Evaporation UV Food Plant identification and foraging is at the heart of bushcraft, and sharing of this knowledge will be a constant throughout the day. We will also touch upon the use of fishing kits, traps and snares. Navigation Using nature as a resource is at the core of the subject of bushcraft. We will learn how to identify direction from the sun, the stars and from the composition of the woods. We will also have a brief map study utilising the skills of modern navigation to prevent becoming lost and planning our travel with our resources in mind. Signalling Audio and visual signals could be the difference between rescue and another night in the woods. Various methods will be demonstrated and practised, such as signal mirrors, whistles and signal fires. Tools Carrying the right tools for the job enables us to thrive outdoors. You will be shown proper and safe use of various tools including knives and saws. You will have the opportunity to make various items from scratch including pegs, pot hangers, traps and tripods to use in your camp.
