What's it about?
We offer you a core range of bushcraft skills we think are most applicable to the modern outdoor enthusiast. Over three intensive days you will explore the principles of fire, including fire by friction, heat and cold and shelter building, tools use and maintenance and identification of trees and plants including their uses. This is a great introduction to the world of bushcraft but also offering some very real and useful skills. Although not everything can be included in three days this course is a very thorough journey and definitely not just a taster programme you will leave with a sound grasp of some important skills and principles.
