Customer Testimonals
  • 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

    — Phillip Luther

  • “I had an excellent weekend on the 3 day survival course. Lots of information and guidance from the highly knowledgeable instructors. Hard work but I highly recommend this course to anyone with an interest in any outdoor activities”.

    — Steve Boag

  • I had one of the most memorable experiences of my life – I learned a lot, in the most beautiful of settings, with a knowledgeable and encouraging guide who also happened to be great company!

    — Mark Wareham

As we step into the New Year, our team are scatter As we step into the New Year, our team are scattered far and wide — from the shores of Islay, to snowy Pittsburgh, an 80s party up in Kinloss, and the time-honoured hair of the dog in Glencoe.

Wherever we are, we’re raising a dram to everyone who’s stood with us this past year. To those who trained alongside us in wind, rain and firelight, and to those backing us from behind the scenes — your support is what keeps BCS going strong. We’re chuffed with the community that’s growing around what we do.

A massive thank you as well to our team (many not pictured) who are the backbone of BCS. It simply wouldn’t run without their graft, commitment and good humour.

Here’s to another year of cold mornings, smoky fires, sharp tools and spending lots of time in the great outdoors. Catch you out there. 🌲🔥
🎅🏼 Merry Christmas from all of us at Backcountry S 🎅🏼 Merry Christmas from all of us at Backcountry Survival 🎅🏼

Thank you to our amazing community for your continued support. We hope you’re taking time to switch off, enjoy good company and raise a glass or two this Christmas 🍻❄️
