Backcountry Survival - Bushcraft and Survival Courses

Brilliant 2 day winter survival course. Packed with in-depth and also wide ranging knowledge and skills. I felt like id been gone a week due to how much wed managed to learn in a short space of time. I travelled from Belgium for the course (ferry to Newcastle from Amsterdam) and it was well worth it, so if you live closer than this - get yourself on the course. I turned up v unprepared (due to various life events just prior) and whilst feeling out of my depth early on I managed to get through successfully - this is to say that you can turn up as a beginner and unprepared and be okay.

Blown away by the depth of knowledge and competence of all four of the guides that supported my group of 7. Great teaching style balancing classroom with being left alone in the woods to acquire resources and build. A great weekend out

I did their 2 day winter survival skills course and absolutely loved it. I learned lots of useful things to take forward into my outdoor pursuits, and it feels like Ill remember most of it because the emphasis was on actually doing these things for yourself. The instructors were all friendly and clearly highly experienced and knowledgable, and they struck a good balance between offering us guidance and feedback, and giving us space to try the things they were teaching us for ourselves. I feel much more confident now, as well as much more eager to learn more.

Fantastic morning spent with Derek doing bushcraft. Well worth a session if you're in the area.

I would highly recommend the foraging course. Tania and colleagues were very helpful. Wilderness foraging is one of those skills that would be very difficult to learn as a beginner without hands on support. I am very glad to have found this course after friend's recommendation after looking for something similar for many years. It was a surprisingly gentle course and I could imaging it being suitable to pretty much all fitness levels and families looking for a more exciting weekend outings.
