Survival in Scotland
Location: The Highlands, Scotland, UK
Survival in Scotland is an intensive 5 day survival skills course which culminates in a challenging 30 hour ‘Island drop’. Following the same format as the Channel 4 show, “The Island”, participants will receive 2 days of intensive survival training, Bear Grylls Style, before being dropped off by fast speed boat on a remote Island located in the North West of the Scottish Highlands. Participants will then have to put all of their new found skills to the ultimate test in order to not only survive, but also to rescue themselves from the Island. This extreme course has been written and designed by Bear and his team of survival instructors who worked on the Channel 4 show. The course is delivered by instructors selected by Bear and his team of highly trained experts who have worked behind the scenes on various shows including Man V Wild/Born Survivor, Escape from Hell, Wild Weekends, Get out Alive, Running Wild, The Island and Mission Survive.

The reserve is a really tough, diverse location with rolling mountains and Glens. It is a super rugged terrain where it is likely you will experience four seasons in just one day, perfect for preparing participants for a worst case scenario. After 2 days training, following a rugged 4×4 wheel drive across harsh Scottish terrain, participants board a speed boat at dawn and are transported out to our remote Island location.
