Bespoke Courses

I also offer bespoke training, courses and workshops...

  • 1-1 training focusing on a particular skill or technique (starting cost per day is £200 BUT this covers two people so you can spread the cost between you)
  • Corporate team building days for small or large groups  
  • Stag/hen days or weekends with a survival & bushcrafty theme

Larger groups than the minimum two should then allow a minimum of £100 per person per day.

Weekend dates require a minimum of ten people in a group to book, however groups numbering more than ten will be discounted by 10%!

If your course or workshop is one that requires additional materials that can’t be gathered from the woods, this will cost a little more per person depending on the activity. All bespoke courses and workshops are self-catered unless campfire cooking is included in the syllabus.

"The guys at Wilderness Survival Skills are great, and we always love having them at our River Cottage events. Spending time with them is a fantastic way to learn new outdoor skills and discover more about the living environment around you. You'll be having such a good time you'll barely notice.  They are brilliant with children as well as adults -  my son Oscar had his 10th birthday party in the woods with his friends, doing bushcraft led by Joe and Glenn, and it was a huge hit - "one of the best days ever" he said.  We joined them for a good part of the day and had a pretty fine time ourselves!"

"DearJoe,
Just a note to say thank you SO much for putting on such a good show.
We all enjoyed ourselves immensely.  When we got back to the house you could tell that everyone felt like they'd achieved something special and there was a great atmosphere. I hope you all have a cracking Christmas and New Year. Please thank the boys for us."

Perry Haydyn Taylor, www.bigfish.co.uk


"As best man, it was at first daunting to organise a decent weekend for a group of guys but Joe at Wilderness Survival was a huge help in the planning of the weekend, tailoring it to our needs and being flexible to include some additional stag fun...and making some great suggestions and planning out a weekend we all had a great time on.  Our two instructors were very easy going, clear and did a great job adding to the fun we were having.  We learned a huge amount of interesting stuff over the weekend and feel confident that if nuclear war ever breaks out we'll be ready to survive off the land!

Cracking work guys, would recommend this as a stag or hen do or anyone wanting to get to know the outdoors a bit more."

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the weekend.  It was absolutely amazing, everyone had an incredible time, and the woods were magical.
Thank you again."
