The Bushcraft Discovery Course
A two-day overnight Bushcraft course near Ruthin, North Wales
£210 per person
This course encompasses and builds on the basic bushcraft skills learnt in our one-day courses.
It is for people who want to learn some of the skills required to create a camp in the woods and live with nature, not against it. By the end of the course you will have learnt to light a fire without matches or lighter, build a simple shelter that you will have to sleep in, and how to find safe water. You will also have cooked several meals over a fire, be able to identify a variety of trees and plants and learnt how to use a knife and other cutting tools safely. Most people finish our courses saying they want to stay there and not go home!
