Ex Royal Marine Commandos make great Survival Academy Instructors.  One of these is Steve Rees who runs Out of Your Comfort Zone based in southern Wales. He’s written the first of our Survival Instructor reviews;

“These maps are a great addition to any serious Outdoor Activity Provider.

Steve takes his SplashMap to the Gorges

I used one on a Gorge Walking Activity to demonstrate how to read a map with my clients.

Our Brecon Beacons destination map

The water just runs off these things leaving it extremely easy to read the clear navigation features including the essential contour lines.

Clear features even in the wet

When you have finished with it, just roll it up and stick it in your buoyancy aid!

We dropped it in the river and it even floats…

just awesome and something that should be carried in the outdoor environment.  The map dries quickly and is easy to mark with a washable pen for your location or destination”

Thanks Steve for our first Survival Instructor review and the handy tips on how to use the map in the wet!  We’d love to share your reviews of any of our products too! Please write your thoughts, add photos and send to
