About us

The Team.
Your SurvivALL instructors are all dedicated men and women with a love of the wilderness and the accumulated experience of over a decade or more of instruction, practice and survival/bushcraft experience. All have completed the tough WEISS course run by the Wilderness Experience International Survival School amongst other things and all have lived in the wilderness for extended periods and as such all talk the talk having walked the walk.

Instructor A
As a member of HM forces he not only saw varied active service world wide but was able to attend many Military Survival and high level Escape and Evasion courses including the infamous "Ludwig's Lair" course in 1985. A true survivor your instructor has survived no less than three 'real' survival episodes of note in such varied locations as the mountains of the former soviet union, the north American plains and the rolling hills and river valleys of Wales. With over 24 years of training and instructional experience in both bushcraft and survival techniques (including time spent working for Britain's top bushcraft school and bushcraft TV personality) you can rest assured all the skills imparted by your instructor come from hard earned experience and are not just rehashed, impractical theories learnt from a book, forum or TV programme.

The LOCATIONS
We currently run courses in several highly distinctive and unique locations.

Our primary site in the United Kingdom is a fantastic piece of un-spoilt ancient woodland and privately owned land. Here deer, rabbits and squirrels abound among the bracken undergrowth and sun bathed clearings of a beautiful broadleaf woods.

Being located conveniently close to all major forms of transportation feeding London and southern England our site is ideal and offers easy access and safe parking to all our guests and visitors.

Our second, and favourite, site is located in the exquisitely beautiful Swedish wilderness county of Värmland, a county and a country famous for its mighty lakes and majestic forests of birch, pine and spruce in whose shaded glades wolf, bear, lynx, and wolverine can still be found as well as the magnificent and noble king of the forest, the mighty Elk. This is a small taste of paradise as not only can water be drunk straight from the lakes but the beauty and tranquillity of the area also offers sustenance to the soul as well.

Our third location is a beautiful stretch of the Devonshire coast line where our advanced students get to play on the beach, in the woods and on the Moors!
