About

Woodlore, School of Wilderness Buchcraft was founded in 1983, by the British Bushcraft and survival expert Ray Mears. Woodlore began as a relatively unknown company, offering a small selection of courses on bushcraft techniques. With Ray's ambition and perserverance, Woodlore has since grown into a world-renowned and highly respected school, offering in-depth courses on a wide range of bushcraft and survival subjects. In addition to training, Woodlore now also provides some of the finest outdoors equipment from around the world, carefully selected on the basis of our extensive experience.

    Fantastic write up, very informative. It’s nice to see an honest insight into an ancient art rather than a modern interpretation.

    Keep up the good work.

    Thanks for posting the link woodlore. What a great article with some fantastic insight into tracking and Ray’s open views on the principles and humility required. It’s encouraging to know that even those we look up to are still learning and are open to say as such.
    Thanks again :)
