Commando Survival Foundation

Commando Survival Foundation (Saltash)

Step into real-world survival — no prior experience required. Over 2 days / 1 night you’ll be guided by seasoned instructors with Commando and bushcraft backgrounds through the core skills that keep you warm, safe, and moving when the elements are against you.

What you’ll learn (hands-on):
• Shelter Building — site selection, natural-material shelters, and sleeping safely overnight
• Fire Craft — reliable fire-lighting methods, modern tools, fire maintenance and control
• Water Procurement & Purification — finding water and making it safe
• Navigation — map/compass fundamentals plus simple natural navigation
• First Aid & Emergency Response — practical wilderness priorities and response
• Mental Resilience — decision-making under pressure and staying effective when it’s grim

How it runs:
Minimal classroom. Maximum field time. You’ll build skills step-by-step, then apply them in practical exercises and a final survival scenario.

• Expert instruction
• Training equipment and group safety kit
• Course manual & kit list sent before the course
