If you have ever wanted to relate to the Earth without the conveniences of our modern world, this is the wilderness survival experience for you!

The Weekend Walkabout survival skills course is designed to allow people to experience the freedom of walking across a landscape and trusting the earth to provide for all of our needs. We will walk into the wilderness on a three-day adventure, learning to sustain ourselves from the natural world around us.

Lessons will be learned from the landscape as the opportunities arise and we will explore the survival skills of creating fire, finding/making shelter, harvesting wild foods, and navigation techniques.
