Learn some extremely valuable survival skills including; 

* A hands-on shelter building workshop
* How to identify edible and poisonous plants 
* Learn tracking skills through fun games that could save your life if you were lost in the bush 
* Primitive friction fire-making demo
And much more! 

This 3 hour day course is designed to give you an introduction to the world of bushcraft and survival, and in a fun, relaxed and inclusive environment. 

Jake Cassar has been described as an encyclopedia of bush knowledge, earning this reputation by living in the wilderness for extended periods and subsiding largely from only what he can sustainably and respectfully obtain from the bush.

When Jake isn't visiting family, he lives in his grass hut next to Ironbark Creek at Mangrove mountain and has done so for many years.

This 5 hour Crash Course has plenty of information for everyone to help them to get started on their journey of safe and sustainable foraging and Bushcraft skills.

NOTE: Be sure to bring a NOTEPAD and PEN, as you will need to take LOTS of notes to keep up with the volume of information you receive.

Being a Crash Course, the idea is to cram as much info re edible and medicinal plants into a short time frame. So be prepared for A LOT of info.

While there are commonalities between the Crash Courses throughout the year, there is always plenty of new information and seasonal plants to learn about as the seasons change.

Jake has purposely made the Crash Courses affordable and straight forward to allow people to access them throughout the seasons and get a much broader view on the incredible diversity the land provides. Most courses are attended by participants that have been on many of Jake's courses before, and the feedback we often receive at JCB is that there is always loads of new information.
