Bob Cooper

Bob Cooper’s incredible bushcraft skills have been developed through more than 25 years of experience in the outback. He has picked up tools of survival from the experience of living with traditional Aboriginal communities, instructing with Special Forces Units, lecturing with the Texas Park and Wildlife Service on desert survival in the Mexican Desert, delivering wilderness lessons in the UK and learning the skills of the bushman of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana. Bob has put his own lessons to the test, dropping himself off in the 42°C heat of the Australian desert with only a map and his survival kit, no food, water or sleeping gear, and a 10 day walk across 160km of rough terrain back to safety. He did this alone and showed that with the right knowledge of the land, you can survive. The outback of Australia is one of the most unforgiving regions of the world, but Bob is committed to protecting and enhancing the experience people have when venturing out in the bush.
