How to Escape a House Fire
Being able to utilise fire for heating and cooking is key to human survival. But so is remembering just how dangerous fire can be. Fire can devastate virtually everything in its path, can spread unbelievably fast and as it burns, it releases toxic smoke which is often the cause of death more than the flames […]

Even the most hardened, outdoorsy adventurers sometimes have to spend time inside. So you might as well enjoy it. When you want to experience endurance, true grit and sheer determination – from your warm safe place on the sofa – here are five of the best survival films based (some more loosely than others) on […]
How to stay safe in a storm
While we love to moan about our weather, the reality is that we actually enjoy a pretty mild climate compared to most other countries. We don’t get hurricanes, typhoons or cyclones because they originate in tropical waters. But we do get storms as well as the tail-ends, or remnants, of hurricanes from across the Atlantic, […]

Great weekend, learnt a lot! Will be back for some more training! Cheers Matt Malkin
8/05/2018 Had a great weekend. Learned so much about using available resources and practical skills you might need in a survivor situation. Making fire, filtering water, preparing food, navigating using the stars, building shelter etc etc. Damian and Pete were both experienced and enthusiastic about teaching us, and were happy to help us and answer questions. Would recommend to anyone with an interest in the outdoors. Very happy Thanks guys. Tim Marriott
7/08/2018 Just back from a 2 day survival course. Absolutely loved it, the guys at wild survivor just couldn't do enough for us. There was a few total novices within the group (myself included) and the instructors had the patience and know how to teach us all.
I would do this again and would recommend to anyone. Even the food we ate was tasty and no one went hungry. Jonathon Paine

4/15/2018 - Just back from a great weekend with Wild Survivor, the instructors were excellent and quickly recognised the abilities within the group giving those with no experience more attention and allowing others to try things on their own. Perfect location for a weekend experience, i particularly liked that I was allowed to go off and build my own shelter and fire and sort myself out for the night.
Whether you've never been in a field before or like me you're ex forces but not done much for a while these guys can adapt to make your experience well worth while.

11/14/2017 - Just back from the BEST weekend in a very very long time!
The whole set up.. from booking, meet and greet and content delivered by instructors was excellent. Big thank you too Ryan, he was full of knowledge and helped when you needed it but also left you alone when he recognised that you was capable. I felt very reassured of my safety at all times.. I highly recommend going on one of these weekends, you will learn so much about yourself! I will be back again.
