'I just need some space.'
Good. We have plenty.
Welcome to the Wilderness Solo. It’s you, alone for the night in a remote landscape.
Somewhere you can find the space to be entirely honest with yourself and learn a bit more about the man you were built and designed to be.
What to expect
I’ll provide all the kit you need and show you how to build a comfortable shelter, how to cook your dinner over the fire.
We’ll also work through the health and safety protocols I need you to observe.
Write it down
Solitude is not loneliness and with the forest to yourself you’re going to have an opportunity for reflection that few people ever experience.
Write your thoughts down, they’re going to provide some very valuable insights when you come to look at them again.
The next morning
We’ll meet back up and cook a hearty breakfast over the fire. I'm going to want to know how you got on, and how you’re feeling now.
If you want to share what came up for you while you were out there then please do. If you want that to remain between you and your solo diary that’s cool.
After that we’ll take down the camp and walk back out.
Kit list
You’ll need:
- Seasonally appropriate clothing including a fleece, a waterproof jacket and boots or sturdy shoes
- Sleeping bag
I'll provide the rest.
Location
I use a number of different locations in the Trossachs National Park (central Scotland). I’ll send you the details and can pick you up from a convenient place if not bringing your own transport.
All the sites are within an hour’s drive from Glasgow.
Questions
Do I need to be super fit?
No, but the walk in to the site takes about 50 mins and is mostly uphill.
Do I need to have camped out before?
No. We’ll take plenty of time to make sure your site is comfortable, fully weather proof and that you have everything you need.
If you're a man looking for a unique opportunity for self development you’re qualified.

What men are saying
Customers reviews, as at Monday, the 10th of August 2026:
"Never experienced anything like this before.
Thoroughly enjoyed the night away and learned a bit about basic outdoor bushcraft.
Would recommend anyone interested give it a try.
Thanks for having me Tom 👍."
"Myself and my 3 children had a brilliant time with Tom, learning new skills and enjoying the great outdoors with Tom. Highly recommended."
"I spent the weekend beside Loch Lomond.
Cold water, chopping firewood, the campfire conversations, climbing (most of) Ben Lomond
That silence can be as valuable as speaking.
With all our devices, notifications, and virtual connections, nothing replaces a handful of good people beside you on a walk or around a fire.
The honesty of the whole experience. No roles. No labels. No Egos.
A massive thank you to Tom Gold, who created the space for all of this with no fuss and no pretence, just authenticity and a genuine belief that men need community, outdoors and in.
A brilliant weekend with some amazing men.
Highly recommended."
"Well-structured but far-from-bossy stint in the woods away from distractions. Sense of humour most important than initiative. Well worth a try. Thoroughly recommended. Tom puts much work in involving all. Glad I went."
"This was an enlightening and practical experience. Something I had wanted to do for some time and the Wilderness Reset under Tom’s guidance and professional guidance delivered a magical experience. There is nothing better than like minded guys sitting around a fire passing comments and views on anything they wish. The learning was excellent and I will certainly return to experience again."
"Tom is a great outdoors mentor, thoughtful listener and really cool to get along with. Being outdoors, standing around a fire, drinking coffee or eating some fire-cooked meal is unbeatable to wind down from the daily hustle. Highly recommended!"
"Wonderful weekend, just the break I needed after an intense period of life. Tom is a fantastic guide, what he doesn't know about the wilderness/outdoors isn't worth knowing. I will definitely be doing this again."
"What a tremendous retreat!
Fire torch marching, wild swimming, incredible food, mountain climbing and great conversation- hands down the best retreat I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to loads - Tom Gold = True Gentleman and Legend!!"
