UKSN: The Best Outdoor Community You’ve Never Heard Of – Until Now!

In an era where digital connections often overshadow real-world experiences, UKSN stands as a beacon for those yearning to reconnect with nature, acquire essential survival skills, and become part of a supportive, like-minded community. With over 3,000 members across the UK, UKSN offers more than just outdoor adventures; it provides a lifestyle rooted in self-sufficiency, resilience, and mutual support.

Discover the UKSN Difference

A Community Built by Its Members

Unlike traditional organisations, UKSN thrives on a community-driven model. This means that the content, events, and services are shaped by the members themselves. Whether you're interested in bushcraft, camping, prepping, or self-sufficiency, your voice matters. This collaborative approach ensures that UKSN remains relevant, dynamic, and responsive to the needs of its members.

Learn at Your Own Pace – With Support When You Need It

UKSN isn’t just about showing up to camps and ticking boxes – it’s about giving you the freedom to learn outdoor skills in a way that suits you. While we do run camps and meetups, many members choose to develop their skills independently, with the reassurance that help is always available. Whether you're pitching your first tent or practising advanced bushcraft, you’ll have access to a friendly network of experienced members who are happy to share advice and guidance when needed. You’re never alone on your journey – unless you want to be.

Year-Round Bushcraft Skills

Bushcraft isn't a seasonal activity; it's a year-round commitment to understanding and living harmoniously with nature. UKSN offers resources and guidance to help members adapt their skills to different seasons, ensuring preparedness and resilience throughout the year.
