Bushcraft, Adventure & Survival Skills

Bushcraft is all about Mother Nature. It's using what nature gives you to eat, drink, shelter and survive in the great outdoors. It can include everything from hunting for food, sleeping under the stars and navigating your way around your environment. In essence, it's going off-grid for a while in the great outdoors!

We offer some specific bushcraft courses that have been specifically devised for families to enjoy together. Whether you go into the wild for one day or a weekend, it's going to be loads more fun than the usual camping trip. Kids just love the foraging, shelter building and camp fire tasks.

No, thankfully not. It's not about z-list celebs taking part in staged tasks involving thousands of insects. You'll be learning proper outdoor skills so you can survive in the forest, jungle or wherever!

While nothing can be as extreme as Bear climbing inside a dead camel to sleep overnight in the desert, we do have some quite gnarly survival weekends and experiences on offer. In fact, they have been designed and curated by the great man himself, so you can see if you've got what it takes to survive in the wild just like Bear Grylls.

There's certainly an element of this for some of these experiences. You definitely need to be in the right frame of mind for these courses. Whilst some are more physical, others need you to think laterally. When it comes to actual requirements, each product page lists any restrictions for that particular activity, so make sure you read through the full details.

Yep! Shock, horror, you might actually find yourself somewhere with no wifi coverage! There won't be any Egyptian cotton sheets, electric kettles, takeaway delivery services or TV, it's all about surviving with what Mother Nature provides.

Yes - and you'll have to lie in it too! In all seriousness, one of the main parts of the overnight bushcraft courses is working with your fellow outdoor survivalists to build a suitable shelter for the night. Called a bivouac, it might not be a 5* hotel, but it will keep you warm and dry!

Once you've bought your voucher and booked your date with the supplier, they will let you what you can and can't bring to the day with you. It's always advisable to leave valuables at home and remember, you won't need any specialist or technical gear - if needed this will be provided for you. If you're unsure of anything, don't hesitate to contact us via the online chat, email or 'phone.

It depends entirely on what you're doing, but we've got one top tip for you. Make sure your footwear is suitable and comfortable! There's nothing worse than soggy feet or blisters. Other than that, it's generally sports or outdoor clothing that you'll need to wear.

On some of the overnight courses you might be required to bring a sleeping bag with you and a set of camping-style eating utensils, like an unbreakable mug, plate and cutlery. The suppliers will give detailed guidance on what you should pack. More details can be found on each individual product page.
