Do you feel it’s time to escape the hi tech world we live in and step back a little, back to basics, back to connect with your surroundings, back to what you perhaps used to do when you were a kid?
Bushcraft is not just about learning skills, it’s about clearing your head and maybe taking a different approach. Far too often we are forced to put our heads down and get the job done. Sometimes you need to stop and take stock. The woodland environment is the perfect place to do this. If you can do this, learn a new skill or two and have fun you will notice the benefits! Or maybe you want to drag your kids away from screen time and introduce them some new skills as a family unit, creating fantastic family memories.
This course will introduce you to the main skills you would require to survive and leave you with a good understanding which, if you wanted to, can be taken further to increase your depth of knowledge and ability.

We had a wonderful day of bushcraft experiences with Red Oak Bushcrafts! The day was varied and interesting, and nice and hands-on, and the instructors were lovely, supportive, encouraging and knowledgeable. The pace was just right, and the setting was great. My wife and I can thoroughly recommend this!
