About this Event
When you’re learning carpentry, you don’t start by framing a house. You start by learning how to swing a hammer. If you’re training to be a mechanic, you don’t take on rebuilding a small-block Chevy your first day. You learn how to turn a wrench.
Just like these trades, bushcraft skills don’t come overnight. You don’t start out with that elevated pioneer platform shelter the first time you go out in the woods. You start by learning the essentials. You need building blocks. If you want to cultivate something that lasts and do it right, start with a rock-solid foundation…
Here’s what you’ll learn in this 1-day course:
Essential knots and lashings Safe and effective use of knives, axes, and saws
Carving a baton and learning essential notches
Firecraft, including processing wood and starting fire without matches or a lighter
How to take care of your cast iron and cook delicious campfire meals
Basic tree and plant identification to better know your resources
Useful camp tools you can make while enjoying your campfire
Quick and easy tarp shelters to keep you dry
And here’s what else you’ll get with the course:
A hot, home-cooked lunch to keep you going throughout the day
Unlimited email support with our instructors after the class is over
No prior experience is required for this class, but we recommend bringing a daypack with some basic necessities (see our FAQs for what we suggest) and comfortable shoes for hiking.
Bushcraft is the art of learning how to utilize nature’s resources to meet your needs, so you can travel lighter and live more in harmony with the land. Come let us give you a set of building blocks to learn how.
