Aboriginal Bushcraft Course
Living as a British Aborigine
‘Nature is not sentimental, the wilderness is no place for fanciful idealism; to survive one must bend with nature’s forces or be broken by them. The more skilful and adaptable we become the easier and more rewarding our outdoors life becomes” – Ray Mears.

Imagine yourself in the heart of the Lake District national park, surrounding you are mountains, 
lakes, rivers, farmland, tarns and forest. The weather is unpredictable, the terrain is rugged and food is absent save what you trap, fish, dig up and forage. You have limited clothing and equipment to support you, but you do have essential skills and knowledge of your environment. You are totally reliant on your ability to effectively apply your bushcraft, and on your understanding of the fauna and flora that surrounds you.
Our goal is to use the initial two and a half days of the course to teach you more advanced wilderness bushcraft, within the relaxed atmosphere of base-camp. You will learn essential skills and strategy. Focusing on those necessary to successfully live from the land. After this period you will walk out, equipped with only a knife, pot, and snare wire, for three days and nights.
You are completely reliant on your skill and knowledge, the determination of your small group and most importantly your self. The instructors will be on-hand at all times to answer questions and offer guidance, although you will be encouraged to cope as a small self reliant unit.
Food will be provided for the first two days and at the end of the course you will have time to clean up, eat, relax and thoroughly review your experiences as we debrief the teams.
You must have completed the Woodlander course (or course of equivalent standard) and have a good level of fitness. This is a difficult and challenging course, but is extremely rewarding
