How it started

Staffordshire Bushcraft and Survival, founded by Michael Vaughan, is a remarkable organization that embodies the transformative power of nature and personal resilience. As a veteran battling stage 4 cancer, Michael discovered that engaging in bushcraft activities provided him with a unique opportunity to establish a deep connection with nature within a private and personal environment. This connection became a source of solace, greatly benefiting his mental well-being and alleviating the constant worry about the future.
 

With an unwavering passion for sharing his story, Michael is dedicated to empowering individuals, demonstrating that they are capable of achieving incredible things regardless of their circumstances. Staffordshire Bushcraft and Survival offers a safe and nurturing space for people to reflect, connect, and explore their own potential.

What sets Staffordshire Bushcraft and Survival apart from other bushcraft companies is their focus on providing experiences rather than qualifications. While partnering with a separate company that offers certifications, their primary goal is to offer individuals the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of bushcraft and determine if it resonates with them as profoundly as it has with Michael and many others.
 

Driven by a deep love for nature and a genuine desire to support others on their journey, Staffordshire Bushcraft and Survival serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration. Through their unique approach, they foster personal growth, resilience, and a renewed appreciation for the natural world.
