Craig Burr, who lives on the Isle of Wight, has recently launched a free checklist of 100 outdoor skills on his Survival Guides UK website.
Anyone can work through the skills at their own pace, children and adults alike.
The site started as a personal project, Craig says, and now carries more than 550 free articles, quizzes and activities on subjects from navigation and knots to shelter building and outdoor safety.
Why he built it
The idea was simple, Craig says,
“I wanted to create a place where people can learn practical outdoor skills for free”.
He says that takes in complete beginners and parents looking for activities to do with their children, as well as people who already enjoy spending time outdoors.
As for the timing, there’s a growing interest in getting people outdoors and away from screens.
Craig says the site is beginning to attract members and newsletter subscribers.
“I’m continuing to build it into a much larger free outdoor learning resource.”
The 100 Outdoors Skills checklist can be found on the Survival Guides UK website.
