classes: Foraging • Life Hacks

I'm Bob and I teach bushcraft skills - fire-lighting, whittling, den-building, wild food, camp set up, knots, leatherwork, a whole range of stuff. For me bushcraft is about getting super comfortable with the outdoors and confident about finding resources for food, craft and shelter whatever the weather. I've taught kids regularly for many years now but I love working with adults as well and often see the same kind of joy as people discover a new skill.

I love to carve and that's what got me in to bushcraft in the first place and I'm happiest really when I'm making and creating. I make wooden spoons, spatulas and bowls to sell but I love to teach as well, and working with wood has led me on to a wider range of outdoor skills which we'll look at in the classes.

Things like fire-lighting, finding natural tinder, camp cooking or setting up shelters can be done in one-off sessions but some of the activities might take more time so I recommend coming for a taster session and if you get hooked coming back for some longer term projects.
