Half-day event – The Lost Explorer
A fun experience designed for everyone. Survival training is designed to give everyone a taste of surviving in the great outdoors, including, fire lighting, making shelters and problem-solving activities.
Fire Skills
One of the most important elements of survival – how to make fire. Without this skill, you’ll have little chance of surviving.
Shelter Building
In the wild, you’ll need somewhere to rest and sleep that will also give you shade from the sun. Working as a team, you’ll learn to construct a basic shelter.
Water Source challenge
Using the materials supplied, you and your colleagues have to build a freestanding structure. Use bamboo, ropes, guttering and more. The ultimate test will be whether you can get water flow from point A to B.
Snake Pit challenge
Team members will have to negotiate a set path that is littered with rubber snakes. However, you’ll also be blindfolded so it’s up to your team to provide you with directions on where to tread.
Search and rescue skills
You’ll be taught how to search large areas of land to find a missing person. However, this is only the start. Upon finding the missing person, your team will have to create a stretcher to carry the person back to safety.
FINAL CHALLENGE – SEARCH AND RESCUE EXERCISE
The event concludes with a search and rescue mission. Your team will have to use every skill which has been learnt throughout the day in order to complete the challenge. Find the injured person, stretcher the casualty back to a safe area, build a shelter and finally make an emergency rescue fire. Teams will be awarded for first, second and third place.
How will it work on the day?
Groups will be divided into teams of equal number. Challenge zones will be set up in which each team must rotate around until all challenges have been completed.
Teams will aim to successfully complete tasks. This will earn them Jungle Dollars, with the team earning the most Dollars being declared Survival Champions.
Your teams will receive all the equipment and instruction they need to ensure a real life and safe experience for all abilities. Instructors on the day will be former military survival experts with experience of all conditions from arctic to jungle and everything in between.

Knot tying skills
Watch as your instructor demonstrates a number of emergency rescue knots. Look easy? Your creativity and ability will be put to the test as you’re asked to replicate each knot at speed, whilst blindfolded. We didn’t say survival was easy.
Plane Crash

Survival box retrieval
