Father & Son Bushcraft Adventure

Friction Firelighting
Creating fire by friction is something of a speciality of Woodland Survival Crafts founder Dave Watson. He is the ideal tutor for this deeply satisfying course on traditional ways of lighting fire.
Women’s Bushcraft Weekend
This course will be exclusively for women. It will be perfect for those with little or no experience who would welcome the chance to learn Bushcraft skills such as building natural shelters and making fire by friction.

Food tastes better outdoors, and it tastes even better when you have gathered and prepared it yourself. This course will give you the skills to identify and prepare commonly available wild foods - and then eat them!
Winter Bushcraft Weekend
This advanced course looks at specific techniques and skills to survive in hostile, wintry conditions. Only available in the winter season.
Bushcraft for Outdoor Practitioners
Whether you are a Forest School Leader, Environmental Education Officer or Outdoor Instructor we will equip you to create and run safe and inspiring sessions.
Courses for Schools and Young People
Woodland Survival Crafts gets some of its best results from the courses we run for schools and youth organisations. Bushcraft is a great tool for building confidence and self-esteem in young people.
Courses for Team Building
Unique and original courses that will challenge and inspire your staff. These are dynamic courses with an emphasis on teamwork, problem-solving and decision-making.
Important Notice
On nearly all courses you will be in a woodland environment, cooking on open fires. It is therefore quite possible to burn, stain, or otherwise damage your equipment. Woodland Survival Crafts can take no responsibility for the condition of your, or anyone else’s, equipment. If you are unsure about the suitability of any equipment you may wish to bring, please ask.
