Bushcraft survival course held in Australia's Northern Territory

A journalist recounts a three-night bushcraft survival course held in the tropical bushland of Australia's Northern Territory, south of Darwin. The course was led by instructor Gordon Dedman, a former commando, professional cruise ship trumpet player, and survival consultant for the television program ‘Alone - Australia’.

Among the ten participants were a diverse group including a former British spy, two snipers, an ecologist, an artificial intelligence specialist, and various military veterans. The experience involved intense survival training, such as consuming live mealworms, and lessons involving a snake named Lucifer.
