Coastal Survival Day,
West Coast of Scotland
Learn Coastal Survival Skills in a Day
If you don't have a full weekend to spare, why not join the Coastal Survival Day? The course covers a comprehensive set of coastal survival skills. You will spend the day surviving on basic rations and food you have foraged, purifying your own water and making a shelter.
The course takes place in Moidart on the West Coast of Scotland, one of the most beautiful, ecologically diverse and wild corners of Britain! It's also where we have made our home. All we can say is that this location is so rewarding that it makes any journey worthwhile.
The Coastal Survival Day course is very practical and hands-on, ideal for those seeking to take their bushcraft and survival skills to the next level, but also for adventurous beginners.
