Backcountry Survival

Backcountry Survival Backcountry Survival Ltd - Bushcraft and Survival Skills. Enjoy a unique experience in the wild and stunning environment of the Scottish Highlands.

Backcountry Survival, based near Aviemore, provides tailored courses and packages in wilderness survival techniques and the art of bushcraft. Bushcraft is about surviving and thriving in the natural environment, and the acquisition of key skills and knowledge to do so. We teach skills well known to our ancient predecessors, many of which are still practiced today as an everyday skill amongst abori

ginal and native peoples around the world. Backcountry Survival is different from other bushcraft companies, as clients have the opportunity to learn skills relevant to a variety of environments – woodland, moorland, mountain, river, loch and sea. Our courses also compliment a variety of outdoor activities, as they provide key survival and navigational techniques that would benefit anyone spending time in a diverse wilderness environment – whether it be walking, climbing, skiing, cycling, paddling or camping. Regardless of whether you are an individual, group or family, courses are available to all, so why not contact us to book your space on this exiting outdoor activity.

A spark, some tinder and the knowledge to bring it all together 🔥

Fire lighting isn't just about staying warm (or having fire TV 😂) it's about understanding the natural world and building confidence in the outdoors.
