South West Survival

15/06/2026

Ready to feel safer and more confident on Dartmoor and beyond? Join us for a short visual series where I demonstrate three compact, instructor‑tested survival techniques: friction fire‑starting, improvised shelter rigging for wet South West conditions, and simple water purification with everyday kit. Each skill is shown step‑by‑step, why it matters for safety and confidence in Plymouth, Devon and across South West England, and how to practice them responsibly. Taught by former 29 Commando instructor Steven Kelly, who brings frontline experience and years of instructional training to every session, these techniques are practical for beginners yet useful for seasoned outdoors people.

I arrived on Friday nervous but curious — and by Sunday I left buzzing with confidence. Watching a beginner stack spark to flame for the first time, learning to identify a few edible finds on a Devon hedgerow, and helping my group raise a shelter felt like level-ups you can actually carry home. Our instructors guided every step with clear safety checks and hands-on feedback, turning mistakes into moments that mattered. If you’re in Plymouth or anywhere across the South West and want practical, expert-led training that builds real skills (and real confidence), come see what a weekend can do.

What happens when a corporate team swaps the boardroom for the moors? We led a recent South West Survival course in South West England where a sales team faced foggy navigation, rotating leadership roles, and a tight timeline — all coached by a former 29 Commando soldier. The result? Sharper decision-making under pressure, clearer communication, and teams comfortable delegating responsibility. Seeing colleagues step up in the field translated to more confident leadership back at work. Want your team to learn discipline, trust, and practical leadership in a tough-but-supportive setting?

Ever wondered what you can safely forage around Devon? Join me and Steven for a quick mini-guide to three easy, seasonal finds you’ll spot on a walk: wild garlic, blackberry and nettle. We teach clear ID tips (look, smell, touch) and three simple safety rules—always positively identify, harvest sustainably and avoid polluted areas—so you can enjoy nature without risk. Foraging builds nutrition, situational awareness and low-impact outdoor ethics—skills we weave into every South West Survival session.
