Bushcraft is all about being confident in using the land to make your experiences more comfortable and enjoyable. Our five day course is all about that.
We will use a variety of locations at our North Wales Bushcraft base to teach you how to make and break camp, travel and navigate and use your bushcraft knowledge to survive comfortably for the five days.
Remember that Bushcraft is all about being able to travel comfortably in the natural world, while still travelling light (from a weight point of view to an impact point of view)!!! That is the ultimate aim of this course to get you prepared to travel lightly.
The first two days are full on instruction days based out of one site, looking at a whole cross section of bushcraft skills including fire lighting, site choice, water purification, shelter and navigation etc. Your knowledge of these topics and more will be expanded and improved. The next two days will be used as a consolidation period, where you, as part of a team, will be responsible for the running of the whole camp, additional to this, the camp will move to another location. And the last day will be an informal assessment of your skills.
This is can be run either as a purely land based course or four our canoe based courses Click Here, where we link these skills in with the traditional methods of travel associated with the canoe.
