You’ll leave not only with practical techniques but also with a greater understanding of nature and sustainability, learning to respect the environment.

This full-day introductory Bushcraft course is packed with the primary concerns of spending a night outdoors: Fire, Shelter, Water, Food. For anyone venturing out into the wild — whether hiking in the Lakes, canoeing in Scotland, or even camping with the family in summer — there is a core set of skills that will make any trip more enjoyable, and grant you the confidence to know you could camp comfortably overnight if needed.

I planned this course to give anyone heading into the outdoors a touchstone on which they can rely. This course also acts as a perfect introduction to all our other courses and is ideal if you’re thinking of getting into bushcraft but don’t know where to start.
