A new vision for outdoor life
From survival skills to a naturalist movement
Survival Squad is evolving from a survival-focused identity into a wider naturalist movement for outdoor education, community events, preparedness, and nature connection. The goal is to make outdoor learning more welcoming, more practical, and more meaningful — for beginners, families, experts, and partners alike.
By bringing together knowledge, traditions, and practices from different regions and backgrounds, we help people connect with nature, gain confidence outdoors, and grow a stronger sense of community.
Our mission
To create a welcoming outdoor community where people of all backgrounds can learn practical skills, care for the environment, enjoy meaningful adventure, and improve their physical and mental well-being through nature-based experiences.
What we do
Programs rooted in nature, skill, and care
We frame our work around nature connection, access, education, and wellness — blending adventure with care, skill with hospitality, and preparedness with community.
Hiking, camping & expeditions
Trip planning, camp basics, and the joy of multi-day outdoor adventure.
Canoeing, kayaking & paddle culture
Paddle skills and water safety for rivers, lakes, and gentle currents.
Birdwatching & nature learning
Slow down, observe, and connect with the wildlife around you.
Wilderness first aid & safety
Confidence-building training in safety awareness and emergency response.
Gatherings, workshops & events
Community programs and annual events like the Nile Outdoors Summit.
Bridging East & West
A richer, more accessible culture of nature-based learning
Survival Squad brings together outdoor practices, values, and experiences from both Eastern and Western traditions. This means blending adventure with care, skill with hospitality, and preparedness with community — so that more people feel welcome in the outdoors.
Traditions, ideas, and experiences shared across regions create a deeper, more grounded outdoor culture for everyone.
