Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills required to preserve and cook foodstuffs in a survival situation. This unit also covers the prudent management of food assets and implementing personal measures to minimise energy expenditure to enhance survival chances. The individual is not expected to be a camp chef, but rather to possess sufficient skills and knowledge to obtain, where possible, a measure of sustenance from the environment through cooking, or preserving for longer-term consumption.This unit was developed for Defence personnel but may be relevant to others.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would act autonomously, while performing concrete tasks, in a broad range of contexts which may be highly unpredictable.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Competency must be assessed in a simulated workplace environment and demonstrated at least once in the test procedure for unknown flora and, as detailed, over a range of occasions for cooking and preserving that could be expected in a survival situation. Consideration must be given to holistic assessment with other survival units. While a person can demonstrate the technical ability to cook and preserve foodstuffs, doing so in a survival situation is crucial.
