JUNGLE EXPEDITION COURSE

7 day advanced training course in northern Thailand

This 7 Day Jungle Expedition training course is aimed at those who work or travel in the rainforest or looking at planning their own ventures into the unknown. The Instructors will teach you the essential skills required to survive unforeseen circumstances or events in remote jungle areas. The first night will be spent in Maehongson, Thailand before traveling to Green Wood Garden Adventure Camp, a 1 hour bumpy journey by car and foot to a remote jungle area. Set far from any disturbances and surrounded by many types of different forest types it is a perfect setting.  With the exception of a couple of small Hill Tribe villages, Maehongson's forest areas remains pretty much uninhabited. 

Upon arrival at the Camp, the first 1 ½  days will be spent learning theoretical skills such as emergency procedures, navigation and expedition guidelines, and then putting them into practice on  practical trainings, e.g. using only the contents of your survival kits and machete.  Skills taught will include: Abseiling, river crossing, navigation & GPS use, raft building, emergency procedures and survival which includes essential skills such as:

Water – The most essential element of any survival situation, you will learn about water collection and sources, as well as purification methods – both modern and improvised.

Shelter – Construction of jungle shelters made from natural materials

Fire – Fire building using ancient and modern fire starting skills.

Signaling – If you want to be found, you need to be seen.  You will be taught how to attract the attention of search parties.
