LEARN
This event goes beyond the
CAMP CRAFT ESSENTIALS
This event goes beyond the
CAMP CRAFT ESSENTIALS learned in our 1 day bushcraft course. There we explored the basic SURVIVAL PRIORITIES of fire, water, shelter and tool use.
This weekend overnighter takes you further as we rely on bushcraft skills, rather than just the latest kit.
Suitable for beginners and those looking to raise the bar on their bushcraft skills, we will provide just the right level of challenge you are looking for.
DETAILS
Here’s just some examples of what your day will have in store:
- Learn to light a fire with primitive and modern techniques and keep it alive for 48 hours.
- Learn to construct modern and primitive shelters for a good nights sleep.
- Expand your knot tying repertoire and make cordage.
- Master the safe use of a knife and saw and how to maintain them.
- Cook your food on the fire and prepare clean water.
- Plant I.D. and foraging wild food and materials.
- Crafting round the fire.

The day will run from 0900 Saturday to 1600 Sunday to give us plenty of time round the fire.
