They will learn about survival, medicine, edible plants, fishing, food preparation, lighting fires, shelter-building and navigation. Runners-up will receive 'arrive and drive' Badger Karting session at Badger Karting at Ta' Qali Raceway.

These events will be held on consecutive Fridays starting on September 20, with the final competition on October 25.
