Just paid for this anyone else going?
this is the blurb from the newsletter which attracted my attention-
This course is designed as a challenge for those who already have some bushcraft experience and is the perfect confidence building training weekend for anyone intending to attempt the Hunter Gatherer week. Camping out in colder conditions is always a challenge but going without a tent, sleeping bag and stove requires a real understanding of survival priorities and a good knowledge of how to provide these essentials for life, using what nature provides. We cant guarantee snow but its definitely going to be ccccold... Arrival on Friday evening allows everyone the chance to settle in, get a good nights sleep and receive a detailed briefing before attempting the challenge. From first light on Saturday you will be allowed only one wool blanket, your bushcraft knife and folding saw, a Swedish fire steel, one cooking pot, a non-metal cup, a head torch, a first aid kit and a reliable method of communication. You will also be given a bag of rice and a small quantity of wild game. You will head off in pairs and by last light, MUST have built an effective shelter and bed, made fire to cook and keep warm, prepared and cooked up an evening meal and foraged through the winter landscape for additional wild foods to supplement your basic rations. With the proper preparation and practice there is absolutely no reason why you shouldnt be anything other than toasty warm and well fed. This promises to be a fantastic course we cant wait!
now obviously this got me tempted and after various begging whinging and generally boring the ears off my family it was agreed the majority of the cost would be paid as my Yule present.
anyone else signed up for this?
