About us
Our Aim is for you to have both FUN and LEARN Essential skills needed in an Emergency Survival situation, specialising in coastal areas.
Also to supply and provide the Knowledge of how to avoid them!
A consequential result is to understand the environments you use and discover, gaining the respect for their delicate Eco-systems that support us and how vital they are to our Survival!
We are based on the Devon and Dorset borders and run courses in various settings and venues in the UK. Including Beaches, woodland and on board our Boats.
We were established in 2008 upon a request from a group of individuals that had volunteered in the Post Tsunami Aid Relief Program, Thailand 2004.
Course Feedback
Their original request was for a "Post apocalypse coastal survival course", as they were unable to find one suitable in the UK. After what was a great day, we decided it was a lot to fit in a one day course.
We redesigned the Course and divided it into the new Courses that we now run, from then on Coastal Survival was born! August 2008.
