Had a great 3 day course with Neal and Brad who were the instructors , learned loads of good techniques on navigation , fire lighting , shelter building and loads more finished off with an excellent wee refreshing dip in a nearby gorge . This is the place to come if your serious about outdoor survival. Cheers guys

Perfect 2 day survival course – really got to go to my extreme. From building shelter over fire and water acquisition to navigation and hazard water crossing! Everything right to the max and Neil is great guide / teacher.

Thanks for the brilliant time and keep up the good work
