Survival and Bushcrafts is run by a team of brothers.
Nick Allen
Nick is well known in the bushcraft world, especially in the UK. He is most recognisable by his wild beard, which he risked losing in a bid to raise money for charity in 2018.
For the past 20 years he has worked as a High School teacher. But pouring all his efforts into transferring knowledge to school children has never been enough for Nick.
He’s a firm believer in getting youngsters to inhabit and enjoy the outdoors. Nick has a passion for teaching adults and youngsters alike the joy of an outdoor lifestyle – even if it can be cold and wet sometimes. He draws on his own rural upbringing, skills honed through his time in the military and love of the outdoors to facilitate this.
Having run a scout group in the past, Nick has more recently been leading the Borders Adventure Group; a place for teenagers to gain knowledge and have fun at the same time.
Simon Allen
Simon has been an internet entrepreneur for nearly 20 years and has developed a number of successful ventures.
He continues to work in photography, which he trained in so many years ago no one can remember the actual date.
In addition to photographer, Simon describes himself as a runner, traveller, writer, and speaker.
He is currently dreaming up all sorts of adventures to film, photograph and write about.
