Learning Modules

  • Friction Fire

    The bow-drill takes some patience to learn but provides the successful user with a sense of empowerment. A skill forgotten by most in the modern age.

  • Tool Use

  • Water Processing

    Insight into various different ways to collect, filter and purify water from different sources.

  • Tinders

    Where to find and how to use a range of both natural and artificial tinders for effective firelighting.

  • Nature Walks

    A way to truly connect with nature. There is always something to observe and to learn, sometimes you just need to know how to look.

  • Natural Cordage

    Often overlooked as a skill, cordage is frequently the most popular learning area. Leaves, roots, bark and even sinew can be made into cordage with varying properties and uses.

  • Tree Identification

    Combining observations of leaves, bark, growth patterns, fruit and silhouette allow all-year round identification. Tree species differ greatly in what they provide and how they can be treated.

  • Fire Lighting & Management

    Looking at how to use more common tinders, how to find and use different dry kindling and utilise good sources of fuel wood for effective fire, even in poor weather.

  • Fire-Based Cooking

    The art of cooking with fire is exciting and surprisingly intuitive. Knowing when to use flame or embers is important, mastery comes with knowing properties of different woods.

  • Natural Navigation

    Although not needed in the day to day life of most, being able to find compass points using the sun, the moon, stars and natural features would definitely be an important skill the moment it was required.

  • Shelter & Sleep Systems

    Natural and artificial shelters both have pros and cons. Learn about how to raise different configurations including hammocks and ground setups.

  • Plants & Funghi

    Learn about how to look for some of the different plants and funghi over the seasons and their possible uses.

  • Crafting

    From gadgets to furniture, ornaments to utensils, crafting from natural materials is an enjoyable and often useful activity while spending time in woodlands.

  • Wilderness Living

    Bringing all of the skills together is the point of contextualisation. It is at this moment it becomes clear that ‘out there’ is actually the real world.

Sessions

Let us know what type of session you are interested in and we will be in touch to discuss the session plan and any particular learning modules of interest.

Private Session

Our most common option for individuals or small groups wanting to learn skills and gain knowledge in bushcraft and wilderness living. We will discuss any session with you before booking to tailor the experience best to your interests or previous experience. We can guide you through this by suggesting learning modules that may suit your interests.

Family Session

A typical family session will involve work with fire, shelter, flora identification, water, cooking and navigation. With younger children there is also the option to bring in elements of arts and games with a focus on providing opportunities for nature connection. Like any of our courses, will discuss the day with you prior to booking in order to best match your interests.

Carousel Session

Predominantly for larger groups of 10-20, a range of activities are laid out for groups of 3-5 to cycle between over the course of the session. These sessions are designed for parties, festivals, special occasions and clubs. For example, this works fantastically for the Brownie Skill Builder Camp Stage Two for leaders who are lacking confidence, the background knowledge or facilities to run these activities themselves.

Team Session

Focusing on getting people to work together cohesively, sessions use many of the core skills of bushcraft but in ways that encourage collaboration. A popular module and good example would be group bow-drill friction fire which, instead of attempting alone, gives integral roles to 4 or 5 people who need to work together to achieve an ember.
