How much?
Seriously, it's a weeks course in Sutherland. How can that be worth £3000?

Because you get to...

Learn the ultimate in self-rescue skills from the world’s most recognized face of survival and outdoor adventure.

Whether you think spending a week with BG is worth £3,000 is a different matter

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

£3,000 is probably about right for a good room at the hilton for a week

 

[Graham_S]

Except I can't find any reference on the website that says BG will be within 1000miles of the course.

You told a fib its 2,999 quid now thats better...

It is the hotel accom and the imported elephant poo that costs so much....

This is inclusive of accommodation and meals but excludes flights and transfers.So a bargain then lol.

I have just read the small print and that price includes Angelina Jolie in your bivi-bag and a full English.

She should keep you warm at night

I once spent £3000 for four weeks in Namibia with Ray Mears, I thought that was little steep at the time.

But 'the face' could mean from his brand. There's nothing that I can see that says Bear will be there and the only contact mentioned is 'course leaders'... That could mean Bear... Maybe Mors and Lofty? Who knows - I'd certainly want it spelling out loud and clear before I parted with money.

For a value comparison, though I might be repeating someone else - the 'day' (6hrs) with Ray Mears is £350.

I know. Legends as they are I struggle with the price, thoug you are competing with the lecture circuit and TV money so unless they were doing it as a charity thing...

You can probably ape the Grylls course by doing one or two of the Woodsmoke courses back to back (e.g. Woodlander/Native then Solo) and then enter this: http://www.toughguy.co.uk/

On a tangent Gill - the bag arrived, thanks. It's now going with me to Morocco this weekend.

 

[nuggets]

I have heard on the rumour grapevine !!! that the price is only that high on account that uncle ray -is running the show !and bear is only doing the marketing ??? Seems they have got there heads together and suckered the market !!

 

[demographic]

Personally I would far rather give the owners of Woodsmoke my money for a course than that drama queen.

I bet he doesn't get cheap insurance anyway...

 

[Karl82]

£2999 for a week. put it this way that is 15 trips to Norway at a week at a time. witch would you rather have ? you would get far better value for you money with somewhere like woodsmanbushcraft.

Of course its a lot of money. It has to be. Bear Grylls has to hire Ray Mears to run the course. Ray is bound to charge a premium for this
