Wilderness Outdoor Survival Courses
Survival Courses at our Outdoor Wilderness Survival School to suit all walks of life all ages and all genders, We pride ourselves that we teach old and young alike the fundemental features of Outdoor Survival, Survival Training at its best,
Unlike many Survival Schoolswe are actually based in Scotland whereas a lot of Survival Schools just come to visit Scotland from time to time,
Where better to learn Outdoor Survival Skills than in Scotland itself, we can have 4 seasons in one day and that is fact, but rest assured you will be well looked after by our Instructors, after all you are here to learn and not punishment, we are not a boot camp,
With past experience if someone is enjoying themselves and having fun they tend to learn a lot more and they also tend to remember what they have been taught,
Our Outdoor Survival Courses are very informative and full of content, and you can choose which course would suit you the best, I am sure you have watched TV programmes with Ray Mears in them and have said to yourself "I wish I could do that", well you can just book a Course with us and you will learn How to Survive in an emergency situation, learn how to make fire without matches andlighters (fire by friction), build Survival Shelters, learn how to trap and snare animals and how to prepare them for cooking, what not to carry and what everyday ordinary items can be used for,
The amount that you will be taught is too much to list on the content in the Survival Courses, Our Wilderness Survival School will teach you all this and more,
It is better to learnOutdoor Survival Skills from the professionals rather than the hard way (in an emergency),
Come along and have fun while you learn, Our Survival Courses are designed to suit people of all ages even Families containing children who have no Outdoor Survival Skills and people who want to brush up on their Survival Skills,
Every demonstration is explained at an easy pace and fully demonstrated by our experienced Instructors, and then you will do it for yourself, and please don't worry if you don't get it right first time, you are here to learn and don't forget our Instructors have had many years of practice,
We have a 2 Day Introduction Survival Course, this Survival Course is an introduction to Outdoor Survival, some people cannot make 3 days available because of work committments and this suits them, ONLYAVAILABLE FOR GROUPS OF 6 OR MORE IN 2009,
The most popular course is the 3 Day Long Weekend Basic Survival Course, this course is very informative, you will learn Outdoor Survival Skills that might one day save your life or even someones elses,
Should a group of friends wish to take a Survival Course together, as long as the numbers in the group are 4 or more, the group can have a Private3 or 5 day Course i.e: (nobody else on their particular Course), you also may wish just to join in with another Course group, We can only offer 3 Day Courses or more to groups more than 4 people, but the dates can be mid-week as well as weekends, just phone or email for available dates, Choose your own!!!!
The 3 Day Adventure Course is a big hit with small groups and families, Again you can choose your own dates for these Survival Courses and we will try our best to accommodate you,
Usually our Corporate Team Building groups are based on 20 - 40 people, but we can cater for larger numbers up to 180 if we have plenty of notice, We can also take numbers of 10 because we know that small companies are just as important as large ones,
We also have5 Day Survival Courses, but they fill up quite fast, We only have places left on 1 ofour Courses next year 2007 the rest are full, We can arrange a private 5 Day Course for a group if needed just email or phone,This Course is for the person who really wants a challenge, most people who take this Outdoor Survival Course have some prior Survival Knowledge,

RANGE ROVER PICK UP SERVICE
We can arrange a pick up service fromAirport PRESTWICK INTERNATIONAL (booking code PIK), AYR Central Trainstation or AYR Bus Station,
Usually the night before a Survival Course people travel to the area their Course is to take place, so that they can start fresh in the morning on their Course, they normally stay at the local Farmhouse B&B just a few miles away from our Survival Premises,
We also pick up clients in the morning from the B&B and bring them to our Survival Premises,
The B&B fee as this has nothing to do with us, the fee for this would have to be paid seperately, We can arrange to book B&B for you if we have notice,
Not all people do travel the day before, but it can make matters easier for yourself,
