Are You Prepared to Survive?
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. Many like to use campervans and recreational vehicles as these allow them to take a mini, portable version of their home to a new environment. Some recreational vehicles are even equipped with refrigerators, widescreen televisions and all the comforts of home. 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 interested in survival skills camp sites 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 the real survival skills as taught by the likes of Bear Grylls and Ray Mears including how to build shelters, track animals, start fires and find food.
A really good way to learn these skills is by attending a survival skills training course. Instructors on many of these courses are true survival experts. Some have gained and tested their skills in the armed forces. They will have studied the survival skills used by indigneous people like the Innuits and Australian Aborigines. By studying the skills of these people they learn what it takes to survive in tough environments. Skills which most of us simply haven’t learned in school.
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.
