The Woodlore Journeyman course is an extraordinary opportunity to further your knowledge of bushcraft and put your skills to the test in a challenging environment. A progression from the Fundamental Bushcraft course, it prepares you to journey with a deeper understanding of the natural, its opportunities, its trials and how you respond to them. This is not a test of toughness or resilience to hardship, but an opportunity to banish any hardship and thrive by combining the gifts of Mother Nature with your own ability.The Fundamental Bushcraft course will have given you a solid grounding in essential skills and a taste of the possibilities open to you. The Journeyman will now take you deeper into your understanding of both yourself and the natural world. No longer one of the uninitiated, you will be treated as skilled and competent as more specialist knowledge is imparted and techniques demonstrated.
You will spend the first two days learning more advanced techniques from the Woodlore team and are very privileged to be able to welcome various specialists to teach during this phase. Learn how to identify, collect tasty wild mushrooms from a highly experienced mycologist. You will be shown the the fascinating process of making a freshly killed large mammal ready for the table. These unique lessons will prepare you for the next stage of the course.
For the following three days, you will move to a new location as a small group with the aim of putting all that you've learnt into practice. Imagine pushing through the physical effects of food deprivation and walking into the forest equipped only with the most basic equipment essential for survival. Imagine then, using nothing but your skill, knowledge and determination to make fire, build a shelter, forage for wild mushrooms and plants and hunt or fish for game. Imagine being successful in all of these things and feeling the exhilaration of becoming a Journeyman.
