Bushcraft skills

Getting out into a natural setting and becoming attuned to it definitely has a unique effect on people, we certainly relax and smile more.  Bushcrafts is a real immersion into the natural world; it is all about learning to use the abundance of nature in a sustainable way to survive and thrive.  This is how our hunter-gatherer ancestors lived; it really takes us back to our true roots.

In our activities you’ll learn key skills: shelter building, firecraft including fire by friction, wilderness cooking, foraging for wild food, water collection and preparation, how to make natural cordage, knots, knife and tool skills. 

The activity leader is qualified through the Institute for Outdoor Learning to teach bushcrafts to groups.
