If anyone is still looking for more resources, a friend lent me these two books recently that are very helpful.

“Forest school adventure” and “I love my world”

I’ve tried uploading pictures but it doesn’t seem to want to work..

I've been looking about for information on bushcraft for Children and there's hardly anything that's orientated around the younger generation, the future generation of bushcrafters.

So, I want some help from you lot to compile a list of activities, with descriptions as appropriate, of activities for kids. Feel free to list obvious things as well as more abstract and I would like everything you can think of, this is the opportunity for a huge brainstorm :eek:):

The activities can be practical and theoretical, interactive or presentational...Whatever, as long as it's orientated around younger people.

I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions and I'll compile them into a resource that we can all use.

Cheers :You_Rock_
I got taught bushcraft by a few books I found left around the house and knives and lighter from a young age with no technology. Just give a kid a knife and tell them that they might be allowed a plaster in an emergency and buy them survival gear when they ask for it if it is cheap and if its not cheap take it out of their pocket money.
