People. Places.
Practical learning.
An independent guide to survival and bushcraft learning, instructors, skills and culture.
The platform and its collections.
Find Training connects providers with teaching areas. Experts describes instructors and educators by their work. Skills helps frame a learning goal. Events introduces community gatherings. TV Shows has a separate collection for each format; Alone Seasons 1 and 2 have separate detailed collections within it.
Keep the roles clear.
A television participant record belongs to that show and season. An instructor profile describes what the person offers as an educator. The same person can have both roles, with a link between them.
Locations need context.
A school may use more than one venue and an instructor may teach in different places. Our initial map uses clearly labelled region or town markers, not guessed course entrances or private land boundaries.
Sources and dates.
Profiles link to original provider descriptions, which are distinct from an independent assessment. Prices, dates and availability should be checked with the provider. The Alone Season 1 source collection retains its November 3, 2026 research date. Season 2 and platform references were checked November 5, 2026.
Editorial boundaries.
Separate Alone Season 1 and Season 2 collections are included. Outcomes are marked within their collection or the labelled comparison. Outcomes beyond these two collections and returning-cast information are excluded. External destinations can include broader spoilers. Participant name cards are original illustrations; no image is represented as an authenticated portrait.
How these pages are prepared.
CompareSurvival uses AI to help organise source material. Editorial summaries link to the original providers and publications. They are distinct from an instructor’s own contribution, an independently assessed qualification or a first-hand course review. Practical learning pages introduce questions and options; they do not claim expert review where none has taken place.
About this alpha.
This is a small first edition. The source-listed collection will grow through checked providers and dated corrections. A place in this guide does not mean a provider has paid, endorsed the guide or confirmed a course place.
