Hey all,
I have recently begun to design a Fieldcraft and Survival Course for the Australian Air force Cadets. The course is for teenagers 13 to 19 that already have some experience in navigation, fieldcraft and some (very) basic survival (Basically hiking/camping type skills). Problem being that 90% of the cadets come from the city and have only had occasional trips into the bush.
If all goes well I am planning on continuing and building this course into a state wide activity for all cadets to improve there knowledge in bushcraft and survival. I have run this type of activity before, but would really like to open it up to other people that have loads of experience in the area and try to get some fresh ideas.
So it would be extremely helpful If you have any ideas about:
-Types of activities that are fun and really work well
-Schedules for the weekend (when to do what)
-Things that got you interested in bushcraft and survival that I can use to get the nest generation interested in the outdoors.
-Any helpful comment.
