Welcome to Original Outdoors
Original Outdoors is an established outdoor training, activity and consultancy business based in North Wales on the borders of Snowdonia working across the U.K. and beyond. We specialise in training courses for foraging, bushcraft, navigation, survival training, tracking and other essential outdoor skills.
Using the experience of our team of instructors we also work with individuals, businesses, government agencies, emergency services and production companies on everything from bespoke skills training and consultancy to location scouting, TV appearances and other outdoor professional services.
We also work to provide structured outdoor skills and safety training under the Environmental Survival Training (EST) Framework, with training pathways in navigation, campcraft, survival, search operations and safety training for remote working. These courses are part of a progression from entry-level through to advanced instructor awards.
The training courses we run are mostly based in North Wales but we can offer our services for events across the U.K., as well as bespoke courses for groups, individuals or organisations.
