About

Green Man Survival offers bushcraft courses and survival training in the heart of the Lake District National Park. We can cater for all levels of physical ability and specialise in remote, arduous environments.  Our skills have been developed and honed over many years at the sharp end of leading in wilderness environments, from the jungles of South America to the frozen forests of Sweden.

Our founder and lead instructor James has a passion for wild places and wilderness environments; this is where he feels most at home. Throughout his career he has had the privilege to take clients from various backgrounds to some of the world’s most amazing and challenging environments, this drives him to be inclusive of all abilities and personal competence.

Developing people’s confidence in their own ability while educating them on the importance of the natural world and utilising nature as a resource is something he is truly passionate about, he strongly believes everyone should have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature and learn to understand and love it.

James is a qualified Mountain Leader and Rock Climbing Instructor, holds many bushcraft qualifications including the IOL Bushcraft Competency Certificate and a raft of NCFE accredited qualifications in the subject of wilderness survival. He is also a qualified off-road driving instructor, shooting coach and first aid instructor.
