Survival Island

Your team have been stranded on a remote island with no signs of civilisation. All you have is what you have scavenged from the beach. Using your initiatives and the skills we’re about to teach you, can you take on and survive ‘The Island’?
After an inspiring opening presentation based on a real life or death survival story, teams are equipped with basic materials and equipment.

Teams are then faced with a series of survival scenarios, in which groups learn key skills before they take on the task ahead. Each survival task is designed to involve every team member. Using what nature has to offer, teams must draw upon resourcefulness and ingenuity, whilst applying the core skills of teamwork.

Survival zones include:
• Fire Lighting – Fire creates a great sense of warmth and morale. Can you create fire from basic materials including a battery and wire wool?

• Shelter Building – An essential part of survival is keeping safe from the elements. Can your team build a shelter capable of keeping you safe and dry?

• Stretcher Rescue –A member of your team has a leg injury and needs to be stretchered to a safe place for helicopter rescue. With only what you have available are you able to administer first aid & build a capable makeshift stretcher?

• Knot Tying – Knots are a must have skill for survival. We’ll teach you how to tie the most important, including a reef knot, bowline, clove hitch and alpine butterfly.

• Water – Your only available water is contaminated. Learn how to create a water filter from just sand gravel and charcoal
