Survival Courses in the UK: Introduction

Most people who are into adventure sports would probably like to think they have fairly decent outdoor survival skills. After all, the know-how needed for camping, trekking, climbing, mountaineering etc. is fairly similar to the sorts of skills you’d need to survive in the wild. But unless you’ve actually been in a survival situation, how do you really know? Well, taking a survival course is a good start.

10 Essential Pieces of Survival Gear You Should Always Carry

Whether it’s an overview covering basics like survival food, survival first aid and how to build a shelter, or whether it’s something more specific – focussing on winter survival, how to survive in the desert or a sea survival course for example – taking a course will allow you to hone your existing skills and learn new ones.

Bear Grylls’ Top 10 Survival Tips for Outdoor Adventurers

Not only that, but survival courses are just fun. And while you hope you’d never have to use the skills you learn in a real-life survival situation, they can prove useful for all sorts of things – even if it’s just learning how to cook game meat better for your next BBQ.

Here (in no particular order) is Mpora’s run-down of the 10 best survival courses in the UK.
