Overnight Bushcraft Courses
Woods Explorer
Growing from Wanderer to Explorer provides exciting new opportunities to take your
newly acquired skills to the next level. Over two days you will be taking nothing more
than sticks and turning them into functional tools such as a full size bucksaw, pack
frame, or maybe emergency ski shoes. In this program we will also re-visit modern
fire lighting and start moving back in time, learning more primitive fire lighting
techniques such as flint and steel and fire by friction. During this course we will cover
different types of fire lays and cooking cranes, shelters and beds will be heavily
emphasized and you will have the opportunity to spend the night in your own bush
palace, experiencing home style comforts even on an unexpected night out.

Lone Woodsman
This program pushes past the fundamentals provided in the Wanderer, Explorer and
Wild Woods Woman courses.
We set out to sharpen those skills by using tools made by hand during this course to complete
daily tasks and meet camp needs. In these 3 days you will become proficient in multiple fire
lighting techniques from modern to primitive, advanced knife skills, material selection,
campfire cooking, and cooking rigs.
A heavy emphasis will be placed on shelters and beds, along with site selection/direction, and the
best fires to use with each.
We will learn about and build multiple tools including, but not limited to, a full size bucksaw.
Foraging for wild edibles and teas, plant identification, primitive crafts around the fire, and
basic wildlife tracking will also be covered. Students will have the option to build and stay in their
own survival shelter built on-site with locally available materials and based on the teachings of this
program! With these skills dialed in and confidence bolstered, this course provides a fantastic
opportunity to challenge yourself in a safe environment.
