Nomad Bushcraft Course
You
can no more be told how to go light than you can be told how to hit a
ball with a bat. It is something that must be lived through.” The
Forest, by Stewart E. White.
You may be tired or hungry.
It could be dark; you may be on top of a mountain, or gliding across a
lake in an open canoe. Maybe you have ten miles yet to walk on sore
feet and in wet clothes. You might be seated around a campfire in the
woods; canoe beached, pack off, camp pitched, and enjoying a simple
meal with your fellow travellers. Your meal be suplimented with
foraged edibles from your days travel, or fish caught off the back of
your canoe. You may be washing or cooling off under an icy cold
waterfall. Maybe you have a river or lake to cross or a forest to
navigate through, and all the time you will carry only the minimum of
equipment.This course is a journey on many levels. It will involve learning bushcraft and wilderness survival skills for most British/European environments including: Sea-Shore & Estuarine, Moor & Mountain, River & Lakeland, Coniferous and Deciduous woodland.
