Foraging Courses

Interested in learning foraging skills? Join us for a 1 Day Foraging Course. You will be guided through the woodlands where our instructor will show you what nature can provide us. With the wealth of knowledge and experience our instructor has, this course will leave you with an appreciation of the ‘free food’ our great outdoors can provide.

We are practioners of Survival, and as you may well know, the aim of the game in Survival is to get yourself rescued within the 72 hour window, which automatically negates the need for food.  However missing the 72 hour window of rescue will mean having to do your best to hunt and gather what can be found around you.  This ties in nicely with the Survival Pyramid, which states that the “Will to live” is the most important, followed by “Knowledge” and last of all “Kit”.  It’s the Knowledge part of the triangle that is important when foraging.

This course is open to everyone; from those who want to learn what nature can provide to those developing their survival training. This course will provide everyone with a strong understanding of foraging.

We run these courses at Alvie Estate and Murthly Estate.
