8. Bear Grylls Survival Academy

It may be Bear Grylls’ propensity for eating snakes and drinking his own piss on TV that’s made him famous, but all those antics (even the truly disgusting ones) are underpinned by some serious survival knowledge.

His academy launched in 2012 with a five-day survival course in the Scottish Highlands now includes a 24 hour family survival course aimed at parents and children, a 24 hour adult course and team building courses for the corporate market.

Unsurprisingly they’ve proved pretty popular, despite the fact that the school’s slogan is “it may hurt a bit.”
