The course is aimed at beginner trampers or those with little experience. It will suit those who wish to undertake easy overnight bush trips using tents or huts close to road ends. Some pre-course preparation information will be sent to ensure you come with the right gear and are ready for the course. This trip will include a fixed camp or hut stay and a tramp with a full pack.
Participants must be fit to travel for approximately four hours across hill country, on a track, with a full pack.

This meets the requirements of the bronze Duke of Edinburgh journey training but is not exclusively for this. Adult bushcraft training is catered for and will be seperate from the youth groups.

On completion, the participant will have an experience of:
* How to plan and execute an easy bush trip involving camping out
* How to select and use suitable clothing and equipment
* How to operate camp stoves and manage fuels safely
* Operating in an environmentally responsible manner
* Understanding basic first aid and survival
* Carrying out map work and route finding on a track including applying basic map to ground skills and route finding
* Using bush walking skills including moving effectively with a group along a track
* Basic river safety
