Outdoor Survival and Camping

The popularity of television shows like ‘Ray Mears Extreme Survival’ and ‘Bear Grylls Born Survivor’ is an indication of how many people feel the urge to get away from their cold, urban, mundane lives and get back to basics. Maybe this is one of the reasons why camping has become increasingly popular over the past five years.

But there are many who don’t like to stray too far from their home comforts. Campervans are increasingly popular as they allow people to move a mini, portable version of their home to a new location. Many large recreational vehicles have all the comforts of home including televisions and refrigerators. They like to visit camp sites that are set up for camper vans, often including mains electricity supplies and show blocks.

But for hard core campers organized campsites like this are to be avoided. For them the best form of camping involves only the most essential pieces of camping equipment, shelter, sleeping bags and warm outdoor clothing. They want to learn some real survival skills like identifying edible plants and berries, track and hunting animals, starting fires and building shelters.

One of the best ways to gain these skills is to attend one of the many survival courses available today. Many instructors on these courses are true survival experts. Many will have learned their skills while serving in the armed forces. Many have studied the survival techniques used by indigenous people such as the Australian aborigines. By studying the skills of these people they learn what it takes to survive in tough environments. These are skills which most of us don’t have these days.

Children always love to learn and experience how our ancient ancestors once lived. How they found and prepared their food, how they built their shelters and how they kept themselves warm and safe. Survival skills training courses and camping provide parents with a great way to bond with their children.
