Survival courses
Being an office worker with a real respect to those that "can"and "do" in the real world plus an avid watcher of Grylls(5star hotel or not), Mears and the like, I fancy getting some skills.. Even if my return to civilisation means i will never use them again
So... both of the above do survival/bushcraft but any recommendations from you guys out there?
Next doors brother is ex-sas so would ask him but have to be honest, he's such a serious bloke I'm too embarrassed to ask MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)

I've done a couple of "Hairyman Courses" (as SWMBO calls them) with these peeps, great fun and very educational. Just don't believe them when they say if you grasp the nettle firmly enough you won't get stung!!

Bison run some great courses.
Can't beat a few weekends a year with nothing but a firesteel, pan, ingredients to make some bread and a bit of fruit.
Puts hairs on yer chest!
Oh...and don't forget the McDonalds on the way home because you'll be flipping starving

These guys are most excellent, I've done several courses with them including the Family bushcraft course and a colleague is recently back from Borneo with them
Survival courses in caravaning - that sounds about right.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Next door's brother is ex-SAS. Is his name Walter? Ask him if he was on the balcony. Anyway, my recommendation is Trueways Survival if you want the best
Run by an ex-forces member who also organises the annual Wilderness Gathering, which again is a great event and good family fun as well as a chance to learn some great skills.

Well yes, but I would rather be at home under the duvet as the pay is much the same.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948
