DAILY CHALLENGE
Learning outdoor skills doesn’t have to mean spending hours studying. Sometimes the best way to learn is to give yourself a small challenge and have a go.
The Survival Guides UK Daily Challenge gives you something different to try each day. It might test your knowledge, get you thinking about an outdoor situation or encourage you to practise a practical skill. Some challenges will be quick and simple, while others may take a little more time.
The important thing is to keep learning and keep having a go.
Today’s Challenge
Your daily challenge is ready below.
Take your time, read the instructions carefully and give it your best attempt. If you don’t get it right first time, that’s fine. The point is to learn something and come back tomorrow with another skill to work on.
Build a Safe Fire Lay
Without lighting a fire, practise arranging suitable materials into a safe fire lay and explain the purpose of each part.

Outdoor skills become much more useful when you actually practise them. Reading about how to do something is a good starting point, but testing yourself helps you remember it and gives you a better idea of what you still need to learn.
The Daily Challenge is designed to keep that practice going without making it feel like homework. A few minutes spent learning or practising something regularly can gradually build a much wider range of outdoor skills.
You might find yourself revisiting skills you’ve already learnt, discovering something completely new or being reminded of something you haven’t practised for a while.
Keep Building Your Skills
If today’s challenge introduces a skill you’re not familiar with, don’t worry. Explore the relevant Survival Guides UK guide, learn the basics and then come back and have another go.
The more skills you practise, the more confident you’ll become when you’re outside.
Ready for Tomorrow?
Come back tomorrow for a new challenge and keep building your outdoor skills one challenge at a time.
