Off-Grid Survival Essentials Day

Step away from modern life for a day and discover the practical skills that have helped people survive and thrive in the natural world for thousands of years.

Led by Dan at Oak Apple Farm, this hands-on experience is designed for anyone with an interest in bushcraft, outdoor living or simply becoming more self-reliant. Whether you’re completely new to survival skills or looking to build your confidence, you’ll spend the day learning practical techniques in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Throughout the day you’ll learn how to safely source natural materials, build and light an effective fire, identify suitable locations for shelter, and construct your own survival shelter using materials found in the surrounding woodland. Every activity is practical, engaging and carried out in a real outdoor environment.

More than just learning new skills, this is an opportunity to disconnect from the everyday, spend time in nature, and share the experience with like-minded people who enjoy the outdoors.
