| Bushcraft is about existing with nature using the bare essentials to survive in the outdoors and having a minimal effect on the environment, whilst being able to adapt, improvise and surmount difficult situations that arise. Living from the land and appreciating its values are a rare attribution in our modern society. Many people who learn Bushcraft skills find they are more self-assured and practical when they return to their customary civilization. In any part of the world the essential requirements needed to survive in any environment are: |
| |
• Fire
• Food
• Shelter
• Water
|
| |
You will learn to assess and prioritise which of these requirements have to be overcome to endure any environment you want to inhabit. Being able to source these requirements and manage yourself in a hostile terrain to a certain standard are the basic skills needed before expanding on any one area of Bushcraft.

| We can run sessions at many levels from introductory and awareness up to 2-3 day in-depth programmes. There are many skills and methods to explore in the art of Bushcraft. We can only fit in what time allows and visitors will need to choose on which areas they wish to specialise on. You may wish to be shown some basic skills and then go away and have a go in your own time, or take a couple of days to perfect your art with specialist support. |

| The most important aspect in Bushcraft is having the Patience to Practice to Perform. |
