It started with a challenge while watching Bear Grylls which resulted in my two boys building a bivvy in the garden and spending a night sleeping out without the aid of a tent.
This has now developed further and we have just come back from 2 nights spent sleeping out in a small copse without a tent. We obtained permission from the farmer and took appropriate precautions with fire etc. but what fun. My boys loved it, and so did I.
Making fire without matches or a lighter, skinning a rabbit (which I'd purchased from a local butchers), cooking on an open fire and sleeping in hammocks.
Great fun and highly recommended.
