Pics from Gordon's recent 14 Day Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS) 2026 Hunter Gatherer Course in Utah USA.

This challenging and grueling fully immersive course involved making our own primitive equipment then travelling across the land with little more than the clothing on our backs, no modern equipment and subsisting with only what we foraged and trapped.

Subjects taught included; Cordage making, hand drill, bow making, Paiute deadfall traps, bone tools, animal processing, primitive cooking, flint knapping, primitive pottery, foraging and natural shelters.

A huge thank you to the team at Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS) (Jessie, Randy and Ben) for making this such an amazing life experience like no other.

Stepping into the wild - 74 hours of 'purposeful discomfort'

23/08/2026

We took 10 content creators into the Australian bush for 24 hours — but first, we had to teach them how to survive.

Led by Gordon Dedman, survival consultant for Alone Australia, we put the creators through a condensed Bushcraft Survival course before sending them out to spend the night alone.

They had to put everything they’d learned to the test — fire, shelter, water, food and staying alive in the bush.

The training was over. Now they were on their own.

🎥 Watch the full 8-minute film on YouTube.

A huge thank you to SBS On Demand SBS Australia all 10 creators for taking on the challenge and Alex (Gooch) Ugarte for producing the film.

Armed with little more than a wool bedroll and a handful of essential items, Gordon demonstrates how knowledge and experience can replace heavy equipment in the Australian bush. Along the way, he creates fire using a bow drill, catches and cooks a catfish over the coals, settles into his cave camp for the night, and leaves the site exactly as he found it.
