Ultimate Survival weekend
-
The Ultimate Survival Training weekend took place this weekend for David Gilman's The Devil's Breath. The 10 winners each brought a friend and a parent with them on the 2-day course in a deserted forest in Staffordshire for hardcore survival training. They learnt how to build a fire, make their own shelters, which plants and fruit to eat in the forest, how to kill and skin animals and most importantly they got to meet and quiz David on his survival skills.
Everyone had the most amazing weekend, under the expert supervision of the instructors.

So, if you ever visit Namibia and think it might be a good idea to go wandering out into the desert, you can be pretty sure that you will end up lost and alone if you are not properly prepared!
