How To Get Into Bushcraft



I was surprised with the level of interest my recent post about an upcoming intermediate/advanced bushcraft course received.


With quite a few people asking, how to get started with bushcraft skills, survival skills, wilderness sufficiently skills...


The answer is pretty straightforward 🙂


Come do a two-day Bushcraft Skills 1 or a five-day Bushcraft Skills Week. Dates happening in April; then throughout this year.

Both courses are totally beginner friendly, mix of female and male, and not much gear needed.


The other option (if you're lucky enough to have a back garden) is make a small firepit and begin experimenting with bushcraft skills and fire cooking.

There are plenty of resources on YouTube, some bad; some good! And get a book like Collins Gem 'Food For Free'.


However ideally, if you have the time and money, start off with a proper bushcraft training course, so get the basics right.
