The wonderful world of bushcraft has many skills to offer, some are fun, some exciting, others difficult to believe are possible, such as ‘friction firelighting.’ If you are new to Bushcraft, where should you begin? As a young boy of 14 and already passionately focussed on bushcraft I was lucky enough to receive lessons from a well qualified instructor who knew the subject, and just as importantly knew where to start with a beginner!
We have access to endless information online, that’s great, but sometimes we need to be able to ask questions and have someone on hand to show us where we are going wrong or even right. It’s so important to start our journey in bushcraft with the correct foundation of basic knowledge and skills, before taking on bigger challenges that come in certain areas within the craft. A two day course on basic bushcraft is definitely a great place to start. You will have the chance to learn in a safe and beautiful location in the woods, and, experience the joy of being out in nature away from the noise of the wider world.
Camping is included in the cost for the course.Course Itinerary
