Bushcraft Overnight ~ Summer

Bushcraft is not just about survival, its about everyday life skills and the understanding of the natural world. From fire lighting and tool use to foraging, herbal medicine and cooking in nature.

So if you would like to spend more time outdoors, getting closer to nature, learning new skills and discovering what plants you can eat, then Bushcraft is for you!

On the 2 day and 1 night course we will cover everything on a deeper level and have the chance to explore more aspects of Bushcraft, as well as look at more ways of utilising and reconnecting with the natural environment.

All meals will be enjoyed around the campfire, with a woodland community feel. Optional Tai Chi stretches on Sunday morning and wildlife encounters from sitting out on Saturday evening to watch the barn owls emerge to listening to bats on a bat detector.

We will cover building shelters, tool usage, fire lighting and cooking, making cordage and ethnobotany.

Camping is included in the price, whether you would like to spend the night in the woods in your newly constructed shelter, in a hammock around the woodland base camp or in a tent in the camping field.

Equipment you need to bring for this course: bowl and cutlery, mug, sleeping equipment (sleeping bag, hammock/bivy bag & tarp or tent). A spare set of practical clothing. Please bring lunch for the first day.
