14-October-2018At first light on an early October Monday morning, four intrepid bushcrafters set off for a remote patch of woodland carrying only their clothing (wool and cotton), a knife, pocket saw, billycan, some strong cord and a few safety related items ...(first aid kit, torch, map, comms and journal). Whatever they were missing from their usual bushcraft kit had to be found, foraged or made from the surrounding woods - shelter, warmth, water and food. A quantity of wild meat is the only food provided but this had to be skinned, butchered and turned into campfire jerky to last the week. Additionally, the challengers had to construct an improvised hunting weapon by Thursday morning to retrospectively 'earn' their meat ration. To do all that as an individual is hard graft but to come out smiling, rested and better off than when they went in is an amazing achievement! Well done all
New for 2018, two workshops designed as a 'follow on' course to the Bushcraft Weekend.
