A Range of Weekend Bushcraft Courses
We’ve designed a range of short courses – 1-day, 2-day and 3-day – aimed specifically to suit the amount of time you have available and what you would like to learn…
Bushcraft and Survival Foundation Course (1 Day)
The award-winning Bushcraft and Survival Foundation Course is an engaging, hands-on and fun day in the woods learning bushcraft survival skills. We cover an important range of techniques and knowledge that will help you to provide your basic needs and to stay safe while in the outdoors.

Bushcraft Essentials (2 Days)
Bushcraft Essentials is for those who wish to learn as much as possible in the shortest possible time. The emphasis is very much on practical application rather than theory. In return for applying yourself, you will gain a skill-set which is extremely enabling.
In designing this course we asked ourselves the following:
- Which of the bushcraft skills are most important?
- Which skills, in reality, do we use the most?
- Which bushcraft skills are essential for travel in wild and remote areas?
- Which skills do we want you to go away with and be able to apply?
What we came up with was an amazing wish-list of wilderness bushcraft skills.

Our popular 3-day taster course is an enjoyable introduction to the many facets of bushcraft, touching on a broader range of subjects than our Bushcraft Essentials Course. The whole course is run outdoors and is designed to be hands-on and fun.
