Bushcraft Essentials Day Workshop

The first and most obvious skill is fire. It is the most fundamental Bushcraft skill you can learn and is an essential part of self-reliance. Once you have fire you have warmth, light, the ability to sterilise water and cook food. A fire also gives you one of the most important things in a difficult situation - morale. Never underestimate the boost a fire can give you rather than shivering in the dark.

You will cover some essential safe and effective techniques when using a Bushcraft knife and saw.

You will also learn shelter building techniques using both natural materials and man made shelters. You will learn several techniques to quickly and efficiently build a natural shelter to protect you from the elements, as well as learning how to properly set up a tarp in different configurations to suit varying weather conditions and terrain.
