Taster Course

“We see Bushcraft as a journey, so let us  help you safely on your way by introducing you to the basic skills you need to take your first steps on the Bushcraft trail.”   This two day taster course provides an exciting introduction to the subject of Bushcraft, providing an ideal starting point for those who have never camped before or for those who are unsure if Bushcraft is for them.

Day 1   On the first day after settling in at our wilderness camp you  will be introduced to a variety of subjects with the opportunity to try out your practical skills by taking part in basic shelter building, fire-lighting and basic plant-lore.

After practicing your skills during most of the day, you will then have the opportunity to relax around an open fire, and discuss your progress whilst you eat a hearty cooked meal.

Day 2   After a restful night you shall be introduced to more skills topics such as the safe use of cutting tools, advanced methods of fire-lighting, and perhaps some animal tracking. 

This course makes a great present for friends or family members, so put your best foot forward and start your journey.
