Dig deeper into traditional field craft and advanced survival techniques with their enlightening one day training course at their survival school Australia.
Expand your knowledge and skill base as they continue on from SCT's Essential Basic Survival Course 2. Explore in greater depth the various different areas of some traditional methods and up-to-date survival skills. Here, you will extend your previously learnt skill sets further, as they teach you more traditional wilderness methods missed with sound modern techniques and tested equipment, to help enable you to survive in the bush and tackle anything that mother nature can throw at you.
As with the other basic and intermediate courses, you will be instructed using a tried and tested method – a combination of highly relevant theory along with practical bush and survival skills that will help you in a real-world survival situation. You will learn to build natural shelters to fit the number of people in your group, how to make a natural bedding platform, and learn fire-lighting techniques among other skills.
Additionally, you will learn simple traps, and increase your knowledge from our previous courses on how to navigate and travel naturally using features in the land and using the sun and stars.
Sometimes we need to be trained to a much higher level than a basic course – especially if being lost or stranded in the bush lasts for more than one night…which is why a second level of intermediate outdoor survival training will make all the difference.
The majority of people don't often think about the dangers they could face if things turn serious when out hiking, skiing, or working remotely etc.
This turn of events can leave them badly equipped to cope with this kind of challenging scenario and lead to them becoming mentally and physically unprepared for such an emergency situation.
Quite simply, the better prepared you are and the more specialised knowledge and training you acquire, the less shocked and vulnerable you will feel – which ultimately helps you to react more calmly and make better-informed decisions.
Regardless of whether you're a hiker, climber, kayaker, 4WD enthusiast, someone who enjoys the great outdoors or anyone who has to work in remote areas – superior survival and bushcraft skills can save your life!
SCT's one day Intermediate Survival Course 2 is designed to take your critical ability, knowledge, and practical application to the highest level, using advanced survival techniques that are required in a wilderness environment.
The event runs from 7-10pm on Friday and Saturday night with haunted rides with real actors, candy stations, themed drinks, themed music, themed decorations and a costume contest.

Launceston Tramway Museum is about a local Tasmanian community and the trams they used.
The Museum evolved out of a restoration society in the 1990s that restored Launceston's only surviving double bogie tram.
Located in the historic Inveresk Precinct, within walking distance of the CBD, the Museum features a workshop, a large modern display gallery and access to a rail track running through the precinct.
You can recapture Launceston's tramway past with a ride on our restored tram.
Inside the museum, you can enjoy Launceston's oldest surviving movie footage and experience how the City changed with the introduction of the trams.
You may wish to view the ultimate DIY project, the rebuilding of Launceston's very first tram, or discover whatever happened to the trams when you encounter one that had become a chook house.
The Museum is adjacent to good parking, cafes and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery. Open with tram rides on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
Subject to weather and volunteer availability.
Launceston's Gorge Scenic Chairlift lets you view the magnificent Cataract Gorge from above, located in Northern Tasmania.
Take in the spectacular features of Cataract Gorge from this single-span chairlift. View the South Esk River in a serene or turbulent mood after a flood as well as tree rhododendrons and fern glades. It takes about ten minutes to take the ride across Cataract Gorge and First Basin. Top speed is a sedate one metre per second, but usually, the chairlift runs slower than that to afford passengers a longer ride.
It is about 457 metres (1462 feet) from station to station, with a central span between two pylons of 308 metres (985 feet), believed to be the longest single span of any chairlift in the world. Since its opening in 1972, the chairlift has established a 100 per cent safety record.
Be sure to also wander the grounds below the chairlift, where you can enjoy an outdoor swimming pool, tearooms and the delightful peacocks who inhabit the area.
Launceston's Gorge Scenic Chairlift is around a 15-minute walk from Launceston's central business district.
The Cataract Gorge Reserve on the South Esk River is a unique natural formation just minutes from central Launceston.
The Gorge has walking tracks, a swimming pool, the world's longest single-span chairlift, a restaurant, cafe, a suspension bridge and panoramic lookouts with spectacular views. Peacocks and native wildlife add to the experience.
On the southern side of the river is First Basin, featuring a swimming pool and an open area surrounded by bushland. This part of the Gorge is popular with locals for picnics and barbecues.
On the shady northern side, known as the Cliff Grounds, is a Victorian garden with ferns and exotic plants. Relax on the rolling lawns, take shade under the rotunda and enjoy lunch with a view from the restaurant.
There's also a kiosk and tearooms where you can enjoy a cup of tea and scones. Wander across the footbridge that links the two areas or take a chairlift ride across the expansive Gorge. Further upstream is the historic Duck Reach Power Station, now an interpretation centre and well worth the short walk. Spend an hour or spend a day: the Gorge has something for everyone.

The Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (QVMAG) is Northern Tasmania's home of art, history, and natural science.
The QVMAG collection shares stories of local Aboriginal cultures, colonial history, and modern diversity, alongside extensive history archives and natural science research.
Located across two sites, you can experience the QVMAG collection through the 1890's heritage Art Gallery at Royal Park (2 Wellington Street, Launceston) and the Museum at Inveresk (2 Invermay Road, Invermay), set within 1870s-era industrial railway workshops.
The Museum at Inveresk is home to natural sciences displays, transport and railway memorabilia, blacksmith workshops, and the iconic Launceston Planetarium. See dinosaurs, trains, animal species (including the Tasmanian thylacine), artefacts from Australia's oldest merchant shipwreck, Sydney Cove. The Museum also showcases local and touring exhibitions.
Over at the Art Gallery at Royal Park, you'll explore the history and culture of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people through the long-term exhibition First Tasmanians: Our Story, experience history collections such as the Guan Di Temple and uncover galleries showcasing the QVMAG art collection; which bring the histories, identities and stories of Northern Tasmania into a fresh and contemporary context.
Two locations with free entry and open daily. Please visit our website for further details.
The gallery is a five minutes walk from Seaport and Peppers Silo along the Tamar River and only a short drive to the centre of Launceston. Situated within a working hot glass studio the gallery represents the most extensive and diverse range of handmade glass in Tasmania.
You are welcome to visit the gallery, meet the artists and gain an insight into the wonders of glassmaking. The studio has only just recently moved into its new iconic location.
