Welcome to Sumo Survival – the home of our weekly bushcraft podcast, instructional videos and kit reviews for the larger fella.

Sumo Survival is the brainchild of brothers Sean and Sy Makin. After decades of outdoor adventures and buying and using more kit than a small Scandinavian army, they decided it was time to make use of the knowledge they had gained. But how?

After trekking through the web and reading the myriad of reviews and watching hundreds of Youtube survival videos they realised that there was a whole group of people missing from the conversation… the larger fella on a budget. Being well built chaps themselves, they decided that it was high time that this situation was addressed and Sumo Survival was born.
