If you are one of the world’s adventure seekers go and check this place out. I am sure your survival skills, such as navigation, signaling, knot tying, first aid and basic fire-starting will be under big test.
#2 Bear Grylls Survival Academy, Zimbabwe
One of the best known survivalist is for sure Bear Grylls. If you want to become a member of his army, choose one of his academies around the world. Its instructors were picked by Grylls himself and they can teach you how to eat disgusting things or survive freezing temperatures. Hispotion’s favourite academy is situated by Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. There you can take an intense five-day course. Here you will be taught all survival skills from lighting a fire, treating rancid water to building a shelter in the bush.
#3 Fuego y Agua Hunter Gatherer Survival Run, Nicaragua
This 80km ‘adapt or die’ race is sometimes held in the USA and sometimes in Nicaragua. Survival runners climb, swim, dig and run over brutal wilderness terrain. For this race you must have some endurance race experience. The gear looks like something you would find on a survival course than a marathon.
#4 Bob Cooper Outback Survival, Australia
The Australian outback is one of the world’s most inhospitable places. You can’t find better place to test your survival skills. Bob Cooper is Australia’s most legendary survivalist who can teach you skills you need to survive the 30+°C heat. Cooper’s basic three-day Wilderness Survival course will test your skills in fire building, navigation, foraging and building shelters. (bobcoopersurvival.com).
