The Basic Wilderness Survival Course (BWSC) class equips you with outdoor self-reliance skills that can be utilized in various environments, especially in the tropics. From simple fire building to in-depth training in wilderness survival. Enrolling to such courses is your source for outdoor self-sustainability. There is a cadre of women and men who are enthusiastic about wilderness survival. On the other hand, there are those who do not find it necessary to acquire survival skills. Such people live in a comfort zone and probably never think that these skills can come in handy specially in the outdoors.

Bushcraft is the art of using the resources provided by mother nature to survive and thrive in the great outdoors. It combines the knowledge of how to best use the plants and animals at your disposal with some basic bushcraft tools to make outdoor living easier and more efficient.

In learning bushcraft skills we benefit in many ways including:

1. Becoming more self reliant.
2. Increasing our confidence.
3. Nurturing our survival skills.
4. Becoming better prepared to face unforeseen problems.

Class location

The B.W.S.C. will be held in Sapangdaku / Babag Mountains Cebu which will require a 1-2hours of hiking with loaded backpacks. We will be camping for 3Days & 2Nights. Students/participants shall be required to bring their own camping gear, pack/prepare their own food, and hydration needs. A water-source will be available at camp (natural spring). Heads up, it will be a wild camping experience with less amenities since we want our students to experience a real-life tropical wilderness camp setting. At times you will be crossing streams and each participants are required to wear shoes/boots at all times when moving.

What Gear do I need to bring?

Clothing: We suggest that you come dressed to spend a day outdoors where weather can change. The weather in the country is quite unpredictable so even if it is sunny, include rain gears in your pack.

Shelter: Tents with good waterproofing, tarps, or hammocks w/tarps will be applicable at camp. However we highly recommend you bring tents so you can also secure all your gears inside while the training is on-going.
