Practising and Refining the Foundations of Bushcraft

Struggling to find a suitable location to practice your bushcraft skills? Need some expert advice? Get out your rusty knife and brush up on your rusty skills with Woodlore!

If you have already attended the Woodlore Fundamental Bushcraft Course, and you are looking for a reminder of the skills, have not had the facilities to practice your skills, or are looking to tackle a more advanced Woodlore course, look no further than the Woodlore refresher course. This is THE official follow up to the Woodlore Fundamental Bushcraft course.

This course is designed to take your current skills to the next level, to gain further experience in areas you have struggled with, or have forgotten from the Fundamental Bushcraft course. We will help you to reignite the skills you already have and brush up on some of the techniques you find more difficult. We will also offer you the opportunity to try different materials and techniques that perhaps time has not allowed in the past.

During the week our instructors will work with you to tailor the course to suit your needs focusing on the skills you would like to work on. Being based at a static camp for the duration of the course will allow more time for each student to work on projects at a more gentle pace and with more guidance from our experienced instructors.

Without regular practice some of these skills are perishable, amongst other skills there will be opportunity during the week to specifically practice bow drill and carving, closely supervised by an instructor. We will also introduce some basic axe skills including; safe use, sharpening and carving.

This course starts at 09:00 on Monday and will finish at 16:00 on Friday.

Catering
This course is self-catering, so please bring enough food for the duration of the course and a stove to cook it on. Many clients have found in the past, bringing a cool box is useful to keep all of your food inside.

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 Reigniting your skills course will take place at an expedition style camp in East Sussex, close to Tunbridge Wells. 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).

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.

We understand times are hard at the moment for many people, we have therefore kept the price of this course as low as possible and are able to offer it at the great price of just £450.00
