"Hi,I just want to take a moment to say thankyou for the excellent customer service my wife and I have received from you. The post office seem to have had real problems delivering my present from my wife that we ordered last month, but you persevered, and they have finally (literally) delivered the goods. And I am delighted with the hat. Many thanks for your help,from a very satisfied customer."  Harry Webb - October 2008

 

"Huge thanks from Adam and I for a wonderful tracking weekend. Adam and I chatted all the way back to Derbyshire about new skills and ways of looking at the world. Indeed Adam tells us he's had his uni flatmates out in the park in the evening teaching them how to track a squirrel up a tree. You all made a big impression! " Richard Brown - October 2008

 

"Received my order today less than 24hrs after placing it, great service."  Andrew Nixon - October 2008

 

"Just to say thank you for last weekend to you and fellow instructors.  The course has made me think of the outdoors in a new light.Its not just 'go out and basher up and cook rat packs' there's a lot more to do.  Your course has opened my eyes.  The knife talk was very good and I think a key part that people don't really know about and has stuck in my mind after talking with yourself and Greg ."  Paul Gillet - October 2008

 

"Just a quick note to thank you and the other guys for a thoroughly enjoyable weekend – I’ll certainly recommend you to anyone that’s looking for a fun outdoor weekend." Graham Villiers - September 2008

 

"Thank you so much for a brilliant experience this weekend! Neither Sally or I really knew what to expect but we can't believe how much we've learnt on the course, thanks to your great teaching and professional approach. Making fire was an amazing experience and the cordage session was a real surprise - it looked like real string! Although our desire for warm showers and shelter with all four sides hasn't vanished, we both feel we have some great new skills and some new found confidence for our up coming trip to Venezuela.  Thank you again. A truly professional and quality experience that we both recommend to anyone."  Mike Hayes - September 2008

 

"First of all, thanks for putting together such a great course, the content was exciting and fun and all the instructors were excellent."  Gavin Kaps - September 2008

 

"Hi Jonny - just a quick note to say a big "thank you" to you and all your staff for last weekend, which I found to be challenging, utterly knackering, stimulating and extremely enjoyable.  Sure, I paid for the course, but there was no sense of obligation or duty with any of the instructing team, only an obvious desire to pass on some of what you know and assist where necessary. I had a great time; and actually learned a lot of stuff too."  Steve Valledy - September 2008

 

"What else can I say, great trip and fantastic company, it was the sort of holiday that you remember for a long time. 
Many thanks to Jonny & Karen for keeping us in one piece." 
Russell Crockford - August 2008

 

"An excellent trip and I don't think I have laughed so much in my life...
Thanks to all for making it a fantastic holiday" 
Andrew Brierley - August 2008

 

"Massive thanks to Jonny, Karen, Claire & Hans for an amazing week! I’m sure all would agree it’s an experience we will never forget!  Helen and myself would also like to thank our fellow attendees on the expedition, you are all great people to get on with. The expedition for us was as much about the people we met as the trip itself."  Stuart Evans - August 2008

 

"Just want to say a very  BIG thank you to you and all the team for a fantastic weekend, I never thought I would have so much fun sleeping on the floor in the forest."  Nigel Ford - August 2008

 

"I just wanted to say thank you guys for your patience and for delivering such an inspiring course. On Sunday the 27th at 3pm I made my first fire!!!!!! It was such a fantastic experience, particularly since before then I've failed on several attempts! I was really frustrated but then probably driven by desperation I decided to put myself under pressure and announce my first fire show for 3pm! Well it was an absolute success, particularly for me, considering that I was able to do my first fire in front of the public!! I want to thank all of you guys, Dave, Jonny but particularly Cliff Richard for his patience and attention to details. You have all been amazing. I'm on my 6th show now with 5 success and 1 failure, so watch out guys I might be the new Italoanglo firebow guru!!"  Benedict Cantatore - July 2008

 

"Firstly thankyou, what a superb day on Saturday tramping around typically stunning British woodland in even more typically British weather. Richard, Roger and I (Steve) are still struggling to recall as much of the exceptional amount of detail and insight that you imparted as we can.  Infact your website presents the line "you'll never look at woodland in the same way again"... which I considered a little cheesy prior to Saturday, but that is the epitome of what you deliver. Your own genuine passion for your subject was immediately apparent and you maintained a great sense of humour throughout the day, aswell as instilling a healthy dose of respect for our native woodlands.  To be honest the abissmal weather added to the elation and satisfaction of getting a spark and getting a fire going. I'll be crafting my own bow and hearth in the coming weeks and spending a lot more time looking closer at my local woodlands.  Secondly, when can we come and do it all again? Steve Davies - July 2008

 

"Well, what an excellent weekend. Thanks very much to you and the team for what was a very stimulating few days.  I think I enjoyed it all, particularly Kev's foraging expedition, the whole session on traps and snares, and also the fire lighting."  Chris Smewing - July 2008

 

"Hi Jonny, just a quick note to say thanks for another fantastic weekend, tons of information, superb location, friendly knowledgeable instructors and even great weather! Can you pass on our thanks to Mark, Kev and Sadie."  Phil Brown - June 2008

 

"Hi Jonny, I was on the course in Devon that finished yesterday, and just wanted to say a big THANKS, as both Dave and I had a really great time, learned a lot, and really appreciated getting back to basics.  We really didn't want it to finish.   
You and your assistant instructors were clearly very knowledgeable, and it was great learning from you all.  I thought all the instructors were very personable and easy going, and made everyone feel really relaxed which was great.  Please pass on my thanks to them.  You have a great team there!" 
Roy Quiddington - June 2008

 

"Had an excellent time over the weekend, and have taken away with me a wealth of invaluable information and skills; a big thanks to you and your team for providing such an excellent experience."  Dan Nuttall - June 2008

 

"Thank you for a well run and enjoyable course with excellent instructors."  Luke Sapsed - June 2008

 

"A big thank you to Karen, Alan, Drew and yourself - a job well done and surpassed my expectations by far.  You have a great product in Survival School - I dare say you may even get a few repeat bookings as a result judging by the feedback at the Boathouse!" Jeremy Spiers - May 2008

 

"Before the magic of this weekend fades into nothing but a glittering memory, I thought I'd send my most sincere thanks for a splendid time on your survival course 23rd-25th May 2008. My brain is still exploding from the amount of information it had to process, but I plan to practise what I learned tomorrow when I teach my 7 year old all about fire sticks in his Grandma's garden.  I can't WAIT to show everyone I know about fish gutting. I don't think I will ever hear the word 'cordage' without breaking into a grin.  Thanks to all your team for making the tasks fun and informative, I had such a lark."  Kate Stanbridge - May 2008


"Would just like to say a Big Thank you, to you and all the instructors for the course this weekend,I have been trying to think which bit was the best ,but cannot decide due to the high leval of instruction and knowledge shown by all."  Neil McKeating - March 2008

 

"Can I just say what a fantastic time Helen and I had on this weekend's survival course.  I think I speak for us both when I say that it really was great to experience this together and learn so much in so little time (obviously a faction of what there is to learn - but we will now experience the outdoors with enough curiosity to want to learn more).  The weather may not have been kind but I think this added to the experience and feeling of achievement.  
 Finally, we both really appreciated the help, support and enthusiasm of your whole team.  In our profession, we attend all sorts of professional courses with lecturers some of whom are very good teaching and others who are not!  What really struck us about your team was how able the instructors are at getting across ideas and information - no doubt because they are passionate and knowledgeable about the subject but also because they are patient and help with the hands-on experience of what they are teaching. 
Thank you again.  We will certainly recommend the course to our friends and we would be happy to receive any information on other courses."
Tom Torkar - March 2008

 

"I just wanted to again say thank very much to you and your guy's for a delightful weekend.  I must say that your team really is a credit to you, their broad knowledge and enthusiasm really speaks volumes for their work with the Survival School and really encourages a thirst for wanting to know more.  I would certainly look at joining you and your guy's for an other event in the future (one with a bit more rain).  As I am sure will some of my colleagues and friends.   Thank-you and please pass on my thanks to the Survival School Team."  Tim Larcombe-Birks - March 2008

 

"Thank you Jonny for a fabulous weekend.  Together with your instructers Karen & Giles you put on a intelligent & witty combination of training seminars.  I for one gained a vast new understanding of survival techniques.  Although I was cold, dirty & tired by the end, I still thoroughly enjoyed myself.  Once again thank you for your professional yet light-heartened form of presentation."  Steven Barnard - March 2008

 

"Many thanks for a great weekend, learnt loads of stuff that has interested me for ages. Weather was very lucky considering the present conditions and it was great to meet the other attendees and staff.  I will be recommending the course and your company to friends and family, and if I can push the right buttons on our two teenage sons, would love to bring them to the course in the summer.  Anyway, thanks again, really enjoyed it"  Shaun Sutton - March 2008

"Firstly I would like to thank you and your excellent team for an absolutely first rate weekend course. I am going to build on the skills you taught us and attending another of your courses."
Paul Swaddle - February 2008

 

I am writing to thank you for your excellent service. I was looking for an axe for my partner and found that everywhere charged a high premium for postage and it took 5-10days for delivery.  Your online shop offered the axe at the cheapest price with free delivery and it arrived the next day - absolutely fantastic!!! When I telephoned and spoke to a gentleman there, the phone was answered promptly and the gentleman was very helpful. My partner loves his axe and I have referred him to your website ready for when he might want to purchase other items.
Once again - a big thank you!"
Chloe Meadows - January 2008
