Jason Ingamells

Jason’s interest in Survival was sparked as a child when he went on his first survival course, rushing straight out afterwards to buy Lofty Wiseman’s SAS survival guide and all the kit he could purchase! However as he developed an understanding of what nature could provide he soon understood that it was the knowledge he held in his head and not the gear in his pack that was all the essential kit he needed.

Over the years Jason developed a passion for the British Countryside, which led him to a career in countryside management working in one of the country’s premier Country Parks.

Jason formalised his bushcraft skills under the excellent tutelage of Jonny Crocket of Survival School. Jason worked with Survival School for a number of years, passing his extreme survival course and gaining his instructors certificate.

Dan Jacklin

Dan’s earliest memory as a child is one of being bundled into a rucksack, slung over his father’s shoulders, and taken on fishing trips. Unbeknown to Dan at the time it was during these trips that his father, a keen naturalist, was gradually introducing Dan to both the beauty and the harshness of nature. Throughout his childhood Dan's father taught him the skills of identifying Britain’s flora and fauna, and he has continued to be an inspiration ever since.

Dan’s interest in Bushcraft and Survival developed through this initial passion for conservation. Sparked by his interest in plants and trees Dan developed a keen knowledge of wild foods, Richard Mabey's food for free a constant source of amazement. Being a keen hill walker Dan was able to practice his skills often rustling up a quick meal from nature’s bounty.

Dan has spent time wild camping throughout the UK but his most memorable experiences came from his two separate Month long expeditions to the Shetland Islands.
