Bushcraft and Campcraft Courses

Bushcraft has grown in popularity over the last decade thanks to many books, publications and people, including the TV celebrities Ray Mears and Bear Grylls.

We have our own indiviual way of working and introducing bushcraft and campcraft to people. On of our sayings is 'by taking more knowledge we can decrease the amount of equipment we need'.

We believe that you can learn much more whilst surrounded by beauty and having a fun positive experience. We will not just drop you into the wilderness with a pocket knife and see if you survive!

We will help you to learn at your own pace - some of the skills you will have seen before on TV and there are many that you will not. We then put those skills into practice on a one day course or on of our very popular canoe and bushcraft over night camps.

You can cover subjects such as edible plant gathering, shellfish collection, improvised fishing, traditional fire lighting in all weathers, campfire cookery including rabbit skinning and butchery, bread making, puddings and of course nettle soup. We can also look at the safe use of sharp tools, wood carving, non edible but useful plants, shelter making, natural cordage and lots more.

Join us for an exciting, educational and wild weekend based in one of Devons unspoilt havens with only the sounds of nature and your friends for company.
