Finding Dry Wood
There's always a way to find dry wood, even in the rain or snow. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes a little harder if it's wet, and we'll look at the techniques to find or process dry material.
Natural Tinders
Tinder is the name for flammable material, something that will take a spark and create a flame. There are a variety of natural materials that we can find and some that we can prepare, and it's always a joy to see that spark turn into a flame!
Tools
We'll work with a few sharp tools for some projects and safe practice is essential. We'll look at all of the safety precautions first then at good techniques for a range of craft and camp projects.
- Discover different types of natural tinders and how to turn a spark into a flame.
- Learn how to find dry wood in any weather.
- Explore temporary shelter options when it’s raining.
- Try out a variety of fire lays, each with its own use.
- Enjoy a ramble through the woods to forage raw materials and soak up the outdoors.

Your teacher
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.
