Next up on The CAPB Podcast is Steve Kelly, the founder of South West Survival. He has also appeared on a number of TV Shows including the hit Discovery Channel show "Naked and Afraid". Steve is still Serving in the Royal Artillery and becomes a veteran in 2025.
He has used his extensive knowledge and experience to set up South West Survival. Survival and bushcraft skills today are almost a forgotten Art, simple things such as lighting a fire in the wild with just a flint are skills that are being lost in this very modern world in which we live in, indeed when was the last time you built a shelter or a raft, how about catching, killing, preparing and cooking your tea on the fire you made and lit?
These are skills that our ancestors used and prospered by mastering them. Survival and bushcraft can also really bring out the best in people, it will challenge and show hidden resilience and toughness, it can develop a great attitude, determination and leadership,
To quote Ray Mears “Every man, women or child who visits wild places by whatever means will benefit from Bushcraft knowledge” that’s where South west Survival comes in, to teach you the fundamental skills and more, to confidently survive and find shelter, water, fire and food.
