Bushcraft Camp
Bushcraft immersion is about making the woods your home. You cant beat time under the stars and learning in depth about wood, shelters, plants, animals and the list forever goes on. We learn how to use the natural world for cordage, shelter, friction fire, weaving, pack frames, buckskin, food and just about everything.
This course is purely a Bushcraft course where there is minimal use of modern equipment except for the basics. Self reliance and problem solving are the backbone of living in the woods. This is a great way to becoming a backwoodsman and honing your knife, axe and saw skills beside your weaving, cord making and knots.
You will get to build and live in your shelter and light your fires with flint and steel. We will show you different techniques on how to make pot hangers and cook foraged, caught or trapped food over fires.
Have you ever wanted to unlock the secrets of the bow drill? We can show you and get you on your way to success. Breathing life into a fire from some pieces of wood knife is a moment everyone remembers. It is a primal connection to the land and our ancestors.
Bushcraft is a lifelong subject of continual learning encompassing every part of human life in conjunction with the natural world. You can take it as far as you want to go. Bushcraft is a highly rewarding and challenging endeavor. You are the sole beneficiary of your efforts and skill. As you complete each craft or challenge the sense of accomplishment and confidence builds. As a result, you become more comfortable in the woods and your knowledge deepens and changes, you will no longer see the woods in the same way. You will see; food, animal sign, good firewood, coal extenders, medicine, bows, arrows, traps, bedding and on it will go.
This course is designed to give all participants the fundamental skills and knowledge base to get started in the woods. The journey starts here to become a backwoodsmen or mountain man/woman of old. It is a more in depth knowledge and skills based course than the weekend taster or the survival courses.
