  • Perfect 2 day survival course – really got to go to my extreme. From building shelter over fire and water acquisition to navigation and hazard water crossing! Everything right to the max and Neil is great guide / teacher.

    Thanks for the brilliant time and keep up the good work

🌲 3 Day Bushcraft Course | August A few shots fro 🌲 3 Day Bushcraft Course | August

A few shots from our 3 Day Bushcraft Course at the end of August.

For some of the attendees, the three days also formed part of their journey towards their IOL Bushcraft Competency - developing not only their own bushcraft skills, but also their ability to effectively teach and pass those skills on to others.

Three days of practical learning, hands-on skills and plenty of time in the woods. A successful course all round. 🔥🌿
