Foraging
In the days before chemists, super markets & DIY super-stores, people gathered all they needed from the countryside that surrounded them. All of those resources are still there for those who know what they are looking for. Foraging isn't just about finding free foods – it's about recognising all that can be utilised around you. Our two hour wander will give you a good introduction into the world of the forager.
Spoon Carving
Learning to carve a simple spoon employs a range of different skills that, once mastered, will allow you to carve a whole range of camp-craft items. All of the tools are supplied and we also look at sharpening and maintenance of this essential bushcraft tool. By the end of the class each person will have produced a useable spoon, which we guarantee won't be your last!
Fire Lighting
Discover the secrets of fire lighting!
A reverse history of fire techniques, from the very modern to the very primitive. All of the methods shown are "tried & tested", but still you will be amazed by some of the methods shown. A class that will open your eyes to what is possible with a few essentials!

Man has used boats for fishing, travel and pleasure for centuries.
To a bushcrafter having a boat means you can cross rivers, fish & forage in places you may not normally be able to get to. Come along and learn how to make a simple craft and find out if it works, if you're brave enough!
Tools & Weapons
Our ability to create tools from what we find around us is a skill that has almost been lost.
