Will Bundy

Will joins Trueways from the military SERE school, (Survival Evasion Resistance Extraction). His skills and expert knowledge are put to good use in training the top echelons of British military in surviving all environments, under extreme conditions. Will has taught in many diverse locations, including Bodmin Moor, the Falkland Islands, the Great Lakes in Canada, and the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts in the USA

Will’s main areas of focus are Temperate Survival and Desert survival where he has gained experience leading courses for SERE over the years. He is however not afraid of a cold winter’s morning having taught on The Canadian Military Extreme Cold Weather Survival Course, where temperatures bottomed at minus 45 degrees centigrade!

Years of experience has built an extensive understanding of survival in many environments along with an awareness of the potential difficulties each environment presents. This has helped ensure that Will is always able to select, tailor and source the most appropriate survival equipment for any situation.
