in Sussex
We run a range of bushcraft survival courses in beautiful ancient woodlands
in Scotland.
Scotland has some of the most beautiful and challenging landscapes
in Britain - with great opportunities to enjoy the wilderness and learn
skills to thrive there.
We are happy to travel to run courses throughout Scotland but use key
woodlands in Glen Nevis (near Fort William), Moidart (a wilderness region
near Fort William) and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park,
near to Glasgow. See our Venues page
for more details.

Private courses:
In addition to our public courses (below) we are now offering private
courses. This is a great opportunity to create the course you want for
your own exclusive group in really stunning locations such as Glen Nevis,
or a wooded coastal island in Moidart. Generally our custom courses
are held in Lochaber but we would be happy to run them elsewhere with
an additional cost for travel. Custom courses can cover navigation skills,
firelighting, shelter, carving and axework, wild food or wildlife tracking
and much more. This would work well for families or friends on holiday,
or individuals wanting one to one tuition.
Our prices for private courses per person per day are as follows:
- one person £180
- two people £100
- three or more £70
