Survival courses in Cornwall. We specialise in wilderness bushcraft training & survival experiences.

After spending many years in the wilderness teaching bushcraft and survival skills and seeing the impact wild places have on people’s mental health, Survive and Revive was born. Something special happens to people when they reconnect with the natural world in meaningful ways. Wherever hardship occurs, priorities shift and survival is king. It allows you to strip away the responsibilities and pressures of the modern world, just for a short while; focus on the now, exist, breathe and take stock. Neatly package up your insecurities, your self-doubt and discard them. Go back to your people and your village revived, knowing that you are doing your best and that against all the odds, you are surviving.

Did the rounds this afternoon: a few big branches down, nothing drastic. The woods have rearranged the furniture and seem quite pleased with themselves.

Hope everyone else who works the woodland has come through alright.

Open as normal Monday. Wellies & waterproofs are not optional.

Meet Marvin. Marvin is a pug. Marvin has never built a shelter, lit a fire or slept in a hammock. Marvin’s skill set going in was “being a pug.”

Marvin is one of the coolest cats we’ve ever had the pleasure of hosting - swipe to see how he got on 👉

🌲 Swung in the hammock like he’d been doing it for years
🔥 Rested by the fire with the quiet confidence of someone who did none of the work.

🏕️ Moved into a custom-built shelter, made just for him, which he rated very highly.

Honestly, the most relaxed participant we’ve ever had. Zero complaints. Several snores.

We 💚 Marvin and he is welcome back any time!

Over the last couple of weeks some of our Home Ed crew spent their sessions building axe blocks. Every future project starts here: tool safety, teamwork, and a lot of sawing.

Somewhere, a log is very nervous about what comes next. 🪓🌲

Spaces available!

A couple of members of team S&R went to play on the cliffs this week - it was a bit spicy!

On a belay stance you can’t step out of the way, and you can’t put the rope down. Someone is relying on you, so you stay put, keep hold, and deal with being wet later.

That’s most of survival, really. Not the fire, not the knife. Staying useful when you’re cold, uncomfortable and would rather be anywhere else. You can’t teach it if you’ve stopped practicing it!

Huge thanks to the belayers who got the full force of the Atlantic in the face several times.
