Have you got what it takes to self-rescue from captivity in just 24 hours?

"Some of my toughest times have lasted for less than 24 hours, yet have had the greatest impact on me.”

Bear Grylls

In this intense 24-hour survival experience, you’ll learn practical life-saving skills, attitudes such as resourcefulness and calm under pressure, and push yourself farther than ever before. From hour one, when you arrive in the wilds of the Brecon Beacons with no tent, and limited supplies, the pressure is on to source food and water locally from streams and pools. Guided by Bear’s team of highly trained experts, you’ll be taught to identify animal runs, lay traps, skin and gut your dinner, and forage to supplement your diet. You’ll acquire survival knife skills, wilderness first aid, fire lighting, and rope skills like knots and harnesses, then use these skills to navigate difficult terrain such as rivers, lakes and waterfalls. You’ll also learn to build emergency shelters and protect yourself in the wild from attack.

Here are some of the exciting activities the course offers:

• Dynamic river run
• Improvised wilderness First Aid
• Emergency shelter builds
• Navigation
• Abseil & rope use techniques
• Survival knife skills & fire lighting
• Waterfall jump
• Practice dynamic self rescue techniques
