What to Bring

 

This course takes place outdoors over 2 days including spending a night camping in a tent or under a tarp so please dress accordingly. What we recommend is only meant as a guide to help you prepare for your adventure. We suggest;

 

Camping Gear

Enough clean & dry clothes for your 2 day stay. Remember to have at least one full set of dry clothes to change into if the clothes you are wearing become soaked.

• Sleeping bag, a sleeping mat and a woolly hat for the night time.
• A warm jacket/coat for the evening.
• Torch, wash kit.

During the day

Waterproof and comfortable footwear - wellington boots, walking boots or something you don't mind getting dirty or wet if it rains.

• Good comfortable trousers. Please consider that denim soaks up water if it gets wet, making jeans cold and uncomfortable should it rain.
• Long sleeves and trousers are a good idea to stop the insects bites if we have a few bugs flying about.
• Shirts, hoodys, jumpers and a coat to keep you warm, dry and comfortable.
• A peak hat or cap can assist your shooting.
• A set of waterproof trousers & jacket if you have them, or if not at least a good jacket and umbrella to keep any rain off you.                                                                                                                         
• Please feel free to bring any snacks and drinks you may want during the day.
• Don't forget a camera.                                            
• Please try not to wear excessive jewellery, large rings and necklaces which may restrict your movements and the safe handling of the rifle.
• NO alcohol.
• Don't forget a camera!

Self Catering

Please bring your own meals for 2 lunches, 1 evening meal, 1 breakfast and any snacks and drinks you may want during your Adventure.

 

We will have a communal open fire which you are welcome to use for your meals or create your fires where your camp is. Guidance and safety will be given for your open wood fires. 

 

Please bring with you your own stoves and cooking equipment, please get in touch if you require any assistance and advice, we may have some equipment you can hire.

We have plates, cups and cutlery for everyone's use. 

 

To help you decide what food to bring,  The 3 ways to Cook with an open fire are:

• IN IT - Boiling pans, jacket potatoes.
• ON IT - Frying.
• OVER IT - Toasting.              

Try to bring food which requires the minimum of preparation and the least amount of cooking pots.  If you would like advice on the best foods to bring, please ask.

 

Suggested Menu - Intended as a guide for ease and simplicity.

• All cold foods which require no heating are a great idea. Sandwiches, salads, breads, quiches and breakfast pastries etc.
• Pre prepared meals such as pre cooked but frozen meals such as stews, curry's, chilli con carne, bolognese and casseroles etc are simply to re-heat from frozen and only use 1 pot.
• All dried foods such as pasta, boil in the bag rice, noodles with a sauce.
