She Survives: Women’s Bushcraft & Survival Weekend

She Survives is a women-only outdoor experience created to help more women get outside, build confidence, learn practical bushcraft and survival skills, and reconnect with nature.
This 3-day, 2-night weekend is designed for women of all experience levels, including complete beginners. You do not need to be super fit, highly experienced, or own loads of expensive kit. You just need to be willing to step outside your comfort zone and get involved.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll learn real outdoor skills in a welcoming and supportive environment, led by experienced instructors from South West Survival. This is not about perfection or macho survival nonsense. It is about becoming more capable, more confident, and more comfortable outdoors.
Expect a weekend of practical learning, camp life, laughter, teamwork, challenge, and achievement.
Whether you come alone or with a friend, She Survives is about helping you leave stronger than you arrived.

Why join She Survives
A lot of women want to get outdoors but do not always feel comfortable stepping into spaces that feel intimidating, heavily male-dominated, or built for people who already know what they are doing.
She Survives changes that.
This weekend is built for women who want to learn, grow, challenge themselves, and feel supported while doing it. You will leave with practical skills, greater confidence, and the knowledge that you are more capable than you thought.
