The Hennessys from Tramore County Waterford will be part of Bush Kids which follows four different families, each brought to a different habitat to learn how to survive in the wild. Bushcraft survival expert, Tom Bán, shares his skills with each family as they travel on an adventure into the wilds of Ireland.
With just their backpacks, the Bush Kids, aged 5–12 years and accompanied by a parent, explore their given habitat and learn how to survive using only what they find around them.
The Hennessy family will feature in four episodes, from 13th to 16th December, braving the terrain of the bog. The episodes, entitled Boglands, will see kids Tom, Liam and Olivia and their mum, Helen, spend three days surviving in an area with very little resources and a terrain that would be difficult for any explorer. The episodes will see them try out skills such as building shelters and lighting fires, and prepping food to cook in the open.
