Traditional Living Skills & Classic Wilderness Bushcraft

Extending and expanding on the wilderness living skills taught on our Fundamental Bushcraft course, this course allows you to live comfortably in the forest with minimal equipment.

In stripping away our dependence on kit, we have to live closer to nature and as a result gain a much deeper respect for, and understanding of the natural world and our place in it. Having the ability to take advantage of the resources nature has to offer allows us to understand both the freedoms and limitations of such a life. Above all, we learn the importance of knowledge, skill and a positive mental attitude - things we can take with us wherever we go.

This course is designed for those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of Bushcraft and ideal for those preparing for our Journeyman course. You will construct and live in a shelter for the whole week.

Subjects covered on this course:

• Advanced fire techniques including hand-drill
• Containers from natural materials
• Advanced cordage-making
• Net making
• Native fishing techniques
• Advanced trapping techniques
• Edible plants
• Aboriginal cooking techniques
• Group shelters
• Making mats and duvets
• Staying clean

This course starts at 17:30 on Sunday and will finish at 16:00 on Saturday.

Catering
All meals for this course will be provided, allowing each student the opportunity to do some backcountry cooking, therefore if you have special dietary requirements please let us know on your consent form or contact the office.

We provide a kettle, tea, coffee, squash and biscuits in a brew box at the main camp fire of the course, under a large parachute. We also have fresh drinking water and a fruit bowl available.

Course Site
The Intermediate Bushcraft course will take place at an expedition style camp in East Sussex, close to Uckfield. The camp is situated in beautiful private woodland with no public access with lots of wildlife including deer, owls, badgers, fox and butterflies. We do not have shower/toilet blocks at our sites, therefore all aspects of the course will have a fantastic wilderness feel, using a screened camp shower and a screened latrine in the woods.

We have a car park at the course site where you your car will be kept during the course (if you bring one). We also offer lifts from the local train station at Buxted before and after the course.

Other Details
Joining instructions will be sent to participants of the course 9 weeks before it is due to start, giving details of where to meet, at what time, and what to bring with you. A copy of the kit list can also be found here

We invite you to have a look at a selection of course photos taken by staff and students in our photo gallery here

1 Course Review (average rating: 100%)

Another excellent course by Woodlore. New skills learnt and a real insight into how our ancestors foraged and honed their skills. Dan Hume was our course leader and I have to personally say a massive well done and thanks to him (continued...)
