About South West Survival and Our Instructors

South West Survival is a Plymouth-based survival, bushcraft and outdoor education company, founded and led by Steven Kelly.

 

Steven served 23 years in the British Army with 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery. He holds the Ofqual-regulated AIM Level 3 Certificate for Forest School Leaders and an NCFE Level 4 bushcraft qualification. He has also tested his skills on television, including Naked and Afraid and Naked and Afraid: Apocalypse, and hosts The Survival Debrief Podcast.

 

At South West Survival that experience goes into safe, structured teaching for schools, businesses and individuals. Our instructors adapt every session to the group in front of them, from primary pupils and SEND groups to corporate teams, cadets and experienced outdoor people.

 

Sessions run from a single day to a full week. Tell us what you want to achieve and we will build the programme around it.
