    • Trip Experience

      This Survival course will take you to the hundreds of small desert islands off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean. The Barrier reef here is only second in length to Australia and given that it is largely intact (compared to the Great Barrier Reef) has a fair shot at being called the largest living organism on the planet. On small white sandy beaches surrounded by clear blue sea we’ll see if you have what it takes to survive in this stunning, but extremely harsh environment?
       
      Initial training will take place on the Cayes off the coast and in the surrounding sea. On the caye, on the sea and under it we’ll show you all about your environment and help you learn how to use what it has to offer to help you survive if you are ever marooned within it. With the Bushmasters ex UK Special Forces Survival Instructor, local fisherman and staff who have lived their whole lives on the reef we will take you through all you will need to know to survive. We concentrate on things that work, not that look fancy.
       
      You will learn how to find/get drinkable fresh water from an ocean of nothing but salt water, set a fire without a match or lighter, build a shelter, catch food and use what meagre resources you have to ensure you survive til rescue comes.
       
      After having gone through these basics comes the reality. A helicopter tour of the Cayes goes wrong and your aircraft has to ditch, and you have to jump! For several days in a small group you will be placed in a simulated survival situation, though you will have communications throughout, purely for safety reasons. With nothing but what you jumped from the helicopter with and the crashed remains you’ll have to bond and work as a team to survive. We call this isolation, where there is not only the practical problems of daily existence to cope with, but also the psychological difficulties of not having those modern luxuries, of being in a strange environment, of searing heat, of bugs, of lack of sleep………….can you cope?
        • Adventure Details

          After the arrival day we head by vehicle and sail boat out onto the Barrier Reef of Belize and a small Desert Island, known locally as Cayes.
          For the firstseveral days we get used to this new and very harsh, though beautiful environment. We’ll explore the sea by boat, the islands, the reef and the life under the sea. We’ll show you how to improvise all you need from very little and give you a sense of what it really would be like to be LOST on a desert island
          We will go through all the main skills of survival on a desert island. To Sum it up:

          • Psychological survival training
          • Learn to turn sea water into fresh
          • Improvise a shelter
          • catch, gut and cook fish
          • Get a fire with no match or lighter
          • Learn how to make best use of what very little you have like the wreckage from your aircraft crash
          • After the training is over you will leave all your comforts behind you and head off into an (monitored) isolation exercise!
          • At the last day before your departure date there is light at the end of the tunnel. A local rescue team finds you. We leave the island behind and head back to the city, where we can wash off the trail, eat some fresh food, have  a few drinks and swap stories of your adventure!
