About Bushcraft Saturdays
If you don’t know much about Bushcraft and would like to learn some basics to start you off, then these sessions are perfect for you!
Each month we’ll dive into a different skill or craft, giving you a broad introduction to the essentials of Bushcraft. You’ll learn traditional fire lighting with flint and steel, try modern Ferrocerium rods to shower sparks onto tinder, explore natural shelters, and even construct a woodland dwelling. There may also be time for seasonal crafts or foraging adventures.
