In the shadow of the pines and beneath the open sky, you will walk the path of the ancestors. This 6–8 hour workshop is not for the idle wanderer—it is for those who already carry the basics of bushcraft and seek to sharpen their edge against real challenges. If you are new to the ways of the wild, begin with our 2-Hour Introduction to Bushcraft before stepping into this demanding day.
The Foundations Of Bushcraft course forces you to apply skills under real stress. Secondly, you will work in a small group that ensures hands-on coaching. Finally, you will leave with the confidence to face the unknown, guided by the knowledge that your kit, your mind, and your hands are ready.
Tarp Shelter
Fire Starting with Ferro Rod
First, your instructor will spend an hour testing your current skills. This ensures the day is shaped to your abilities. From the start, you will be moving, thinking, and adapting—just as the forest demands.
Skills You Will Forge
As the day unfolds, your instructor will spring unexpected challenges—simulating the pressure and unpredictability of real-world survival.
You must arrive with all 10 Cs in your pack and know their use:
Cutting tool
Combustion device
Container (metal)
Cordage
Cover (tarp/shelter)
Candlelight (headlamp)
Cotton bandana
Compass
Cargo tape
Canvas or nylon pack
Without these, the course will be more difficult—just as the wild shows no mercy to the unprepared.
