Bushcraft Courses
The Journeyman Course 2010
Taking your skills further
It may seem strange, but the best way to learn how to do things in bushcraft is to make mistakes. This course allows you the experience of application with its bittersweet mix of success and failure, while ensuring that you come to no harm.A progression from the Fundamental Bushcraft Course, it prepares you to journey with your skills in a deeper understanding of the world around you.
It will go ahead regardless of the weather – the worse the conditions, the better you will learn!
For the first two days you will learn to work as a team in a relaxed atmosphere, learning more advanced bushcraft and the essential skills that will lead to successfully feeding yourselves from nature's larder.
For the next three days, your team will move to a new location and learn to live from the land equipped only with a knife and cooking pot. You will be encouraged to succeed as a team, with the instructors nearby for guidance.
After three days in the bush, you will return to camp for a clean up, meal and a discussion about your experiences. (Please ensure that you bring your swim-wear and a clean set of clothes).
A challenging and difficult course but immensely satisfying and rewarding, bringing with it increased self-knowledge and personal confidence.
This course is conducted from an expedition style camp in Scotland. Meals will be provided for the first two days, after which you will forage for food and live off the land.
You need to make your own travel arrangements to Scotland. This course will start at 18:00 and will finish at 14:30.

1 Course Review (average rating: 100%)
It has given me an appreciation of how hard hunter-gatherer lifestyles really are. It showed me that we all have the ability to do things that are really hard, all we need is the determination and resolve to strive (and survive). I would highly recommend this course, although it is not for the faint hearted. The combination of skilled, motivated staff aided by renowned experts allows them to deliver an experience second to none.
