Join Zeki of Highland survival skills school and Patrick of Backwoods Survival School for an exciting and challenging 5-day experience in the spectacular Scottish Highlands. This experience will be held in the magnificent Cairngorm mountains, set amongst atmospheric ancient Caledonian Pines and birch Woodlands adjacent to a beautiful freshwater loch.

You will begin your course with a short hike, navigating through the wonderful Scottish landscape, foraging along the way. When you reach the loch, you will be tasked with building a raft to transport you along with your kit across the loch to base camp.

Once there, you will learn the skills & crafts of the ancients in a unique environment. It will be an action-packed 5 days where you will learn a wide range of skills.

Patrick and Zeki are passionate about the subject of traditional crafts and survival skills. On this highlander experience you will get the opportunity to learn from two individuals who live and breathe this subject. You will gain knowledge and skills that will transport you back in time and give you a greater understanding of nature and how we as a species once lived alongside it.
