Survival Skills Riseley, Berkshire

This intensive half-day survival course is far from traditional but if you're a budding Bear Grylls and want a stag or hen party with a difference this is the perfect activity for you. The day starts with a full introduction to the world of bushcraft from an experienced instructor, followed by a short safety briefing. Over the course of the day you'll cover the most essential survival skills, and the session starts with the art of matchless fire lighting. The stags will then learn the basic principles of shelter building, while the hens learn how to make rustic bread and carve a bread knife out of wood. The day comes to a close with a few celebratory drinks made using foraged ingredients so expect sloe gin, elderberry vodka and rose hip vodka all to be on the menu.
