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.

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.
