Jenny and Kerry Launch She Survives with South West Survival to Help More Women Get Outdoors


More women are looking for ways to get outside, build confidence, learn practical skills, and reconnect with nature. That is exactly why Jenny and Kerry have launched She Survives in partnership with South West Survival — a new women-only outdoor experience designed to help women feel stronger, more capable, and more at home in the wild.


She Survives has been created as a welcoming space for women who want to learn real survival and bushcraft skills in a supportive environment. Hosted by Jenny and Kerry, the weekends are designed exclusively for women and focus on confidence, resilience, practical outdoor learning, and adventure. Whether someone is completely new to bushcraft or already has some outdoor experience, She Survives is built to support that journey.


At its core, She Survives is about far more than just learning how to light a fire or build a shelter. It is about helping women step away from the pressure and noise of everyday life, slow down, challenge themselves, and reconnect with both nature and who they are. South West Survival describes the experience as one that leaves participants feeling more capable, grounded, and empowered — and that is exactly the kind of message that will resonate with women looking for something real, practical, and confidence-building.


The weekends will cover a range of essential bushcraft and survival skills, including fire lighting techniques, shelter building, knife skills and tool safety, foraging basics, water sourcing and purification, and campcraft and outdoor living skills. These are not gimmicks or watered-down activities. They are practical outdoor skills that can help women become more self-reliant, more comfortable outdoors, and more confident in their own ability to handle new challenges.


One of the strongest parts of She Survives is the environment it promises to create. South West Survival makes it clear that this is intended to be a supportive space for women — with no pressure, no judgement, and a strong focus on encouragement, connection, and confidence-building. That matters. A lot of women are interested in outdoor life but do not always feel comfortable entering spaces that can seem male-dominated, intimidating, or overly technical. She Survives gives them a way in.


That women-only approach is smart. It removes barriers. It creates trust faster. It makes it easier for complete beginners to say yes. And it opens the door for women who may have wanted to try bushcraft, survival training, or outdoor adventure for years, but never felt there was a space built with them in mind. Instead of trying to fit women into an existing format, Jenny and Kerry are building something specifically for them. That is how you grow a real community, not just sell an event.


Jenny brings credible outdoor experience to the project as a South West Survival instructor, with the company describing her as a seasoned survival instructor who has tested her skills on Discovery Channel’s Naked and Afraid. Her background, passion for the outdoors, and focus on helping others build confidence in nature give She Survives extra weight and authenticity.


The timing is right as well. More people are actively looking for meaningful experiences that improve confidence, mental wellbeing, and real-world capability. She Survives speaks directly to that demand. According to the South West Survival page, the benefits include building confidence outdoors, learning practical life-enhancing skills, improving mental wellbeing through nature, connecting with like-minded women, and taking time to unplug, reset, and recharge. That combination of adventure, wellbeing, and skill-building is powerful.


Just as importantly, She Survives is for all levels. It is aimed at complete beginners who are curious about bushcraft, women who want to build outdoor confidence, adventurers looking to expand their skills, and anyone who simply wants more time in nature to recharge and reset. That wide appeal gives Jenny, Kerry, and South West Survival a strong base to build from, because the brand is not boxing itself into a niche corner. It is creating an accessible entry point into the outdoors for women who want more from life than comfort and routine.


For South West Survival, this is also a smart move from a brand point of view. Launching She Survives strengthens the company’s position as more than just a survival training provider. It shows that the brand understands community, inclusion, and the growing demand for experiences tailored to specific audiences. A women-only survival and bushcraft offering is not just good marketing — it is good positioning. It gives the business a clear identity in a space where many providers still look and sound the same.


The message behind She Survives is simple but strong: women belong outdoors too. They belong around the fire, under the tarp, on the trail, learning real skills, taking on challenges, and discovering what they are capable of. With Jenny and Kerry leading the way in partnership with South West Survival, She Survives has the potential to become far more than a weekend event. It can become a movement, a community, and a gateway for more women to step into the outdoors with confidence.


South West Survival says dates, pricing, and booking details will be announced soon, with people encouraged to join the mailing list or follow She Survives on social media for updates. For women who want to reconnect, rewild, and rediscover their confidence, this looks like a strong place to start.
