Trueways Courses
Trueways survival training begins with an introduction to the basic elements of survival, then steadily develops and expands upon this groundwork as students gain more knowledge, experience and confidence. All Trueways courses are hands-on and practice-based, and students will apply their skills with increasing independence as they move forward in the programme:
- Survival psychology
- Basic survival equipment
- Shelter siting and construction
- Fire making and maintenance in all conditions
- Heat management and conservation
- Signalling and rescue
- Water acquisition and treatment
- Food identification, acquisition, testing and preparation
- Navigation without aid
The Trueways Young Survivalist Course was originally developed to aid scout groups to attain a survival skills badge. It has since evolved and now basically contains the exact same content as our adult 'True Ways' Survival Courses' but with a delivery style more likely to appeal to a younger audience.
