Customer review
" 10/10 would learn bushcraft from Alex again! He was very knowledgeable and friendly, we had a wonderful time!
We're both nature enthusiasts and were looking for someone to teach us how to survive and live sustainably in nature at an introductory stage.
All tools and kit was provided on site, we were shown how to use everything safely and given a good degree of freedom to experiment as well. Alex was very friendly and patient with teaching us a variety of knowledge, e.g. plant identification and uses in the woodlands, how to use tools or make items from different types of wood, we chose to make primitive arrows. It was truly a fantastic weekend for the both of us.
Seriously you won't regret learning bushcraft from him!"

Firesteels
If you've used a firesteel on one of my courses I recommend this on on Amazon - it's very good value and can be used by left and right handed kids and adults to produce very hot sparks to ignite your tinder
Tarps
Waterproof tarps for shelter building and camping. This is the best value tarp I've found and I use it on my courses.
Headtorch
The Petzel core has a rechargeable and removable battery; I always keep 2 batteries with me.
