Learn to live off the land

The local's ability to survive off of the jungle is something that impresses many visitors to Thailand. Most Thai people no longer rely completely on the jungle for sustenance but they are still well-adapted to living off the land. As well as knowing a lot about jungle plants (edible and medicinal) many Thais still make tools from jungle materials and can build themselves temporary shelters. Hunting and fishing remain an important part of traditional Thai lifestyle.

Our jungle survival course gives you the opportunity to spend the night in a tropical rainforest. You will eat directly from the jungle, and practice fishing with handlines and bamboo poles. You will be taught about hunting wild pigs, and building traps and snares. Build, start and maintain a fire for cooking, fashion your own cooking utensils, and see which common wild plants are suitable as food. And finally, build your own natural shelter using only a knife and know-how.
