had a life long interest in Bushcraft and Wilderness Survival, in 1991
he attended his first bushcraft course which was lead by Ray Mears, at
the beginning of 2000 he started working for BBC TV

Lawrence instructed and led various courses ranging from basic to
advanced bushcraft, junior and family courses, campcraft, tracking,
primitive technology and also arctic bushcraft, he has also taught
bushcraft, survival & primitive skills to a large majority of

In 2004 Lawrence's hard work was
rewarded when he was presented with the
" Ray Mears Instructors Knife ", he is
the only person in Scotland and one of only three people in the UK to
receive this recognition.
Lawrence has a real love and enthusiasm
for this subject which he studies, practices and teaches on a full-time
basis, these attributes along with his calm and relaxed demeanour, great
sense of humour and his passion to pass on the knowledge and skills of
this wide ranging subject make him an ideal bushcraft & survival
instructor.
Bushcraft has taken Lawrence to many
countries such as Sweden, Norway and France as well as across the UK.

Duncan Goulder
Duncan is an
assistant and trainee instructor with Bushcraft
Ventures. He has had a life long interest in bushcraft,
natural history and nature conservation. He works full
time as a nature reserve warden for the RSPB, squeezing
in as many bushcraft courses as physically possible at
weekends and periods of annual leave! |
 |
|
Duncan’s
professional experience of interpreting animal tracks
and signs and plant surveying, coupled with his
knowledge and general enthusiasm for wildlife adds a
unique and exciting element to the courses.
Bushcraft for Duncan is a way of participating in and
personally reconnecting with the natural world, as
opposed to passively observing it (or ignoring it!) from
within the cocoon of modern-day materialism. This
attitude involves incorporating the principals of
bushcraft into daily life rather than viewing the use of
the skills purely as an “activity” or “pastime”.
In his spare time, Duncan is a keen wildlife
photographer, sea kayaker and mountaineer, but also
enjoys a good practical project and is currently
building a 16ft Canadian canoe. |
