Going Wild in the Woods!





Woodland Survival Skills Sessions 2016/17

Lost in the woods, getting dark, hungry, cold – what would you do? Find out how you would get on during our next Troop sessions at the Shropshire Wildlife Trust nature reserve at Llanymynech in Pant. Learn fire lighting, shelter building and basic life-saving first-aid deep in the woodlands in our own special bush-craft hideaway. We will be working in patrols honing our survival skills and backwoods cooking arts! 

Check the kit list below for the right stuff to bring.
Sunday 25th September 10.00am to 4pm
Meeting point - Llanymynech Nature Reserve, Underhill Lane car park, Pant
For further details see map below - 

Kit List
Stout boots to be worn
Knife, fork, spoon, plate, bowl, mug
Water bottle
A fleece [old as it will get smoky , muddy and covered in ketchup!]
Waterproof coat and trousers, hat that covers ears
Personal first aid kit and Torch with spare batteries
Any medication needed (which should be handed to a Leader at the start of the day with instructions for use)
Rucksack to carry it all in
A small lock knife or sheath knife (to be handed to a Leader at the start of the camp and to be issued when needed) in a plastic bag with your name on it.  This is an optional item. NO PEN KNIVES - these close easily and are dangerous.
We will have fires burning most of the day. There’s a good chance of clothing getting burn holes or ripped in the forest. Don’t bring your best gear!!!

Finally ensure you put  a change of clothes in the car you come in  case of wet weather.
