i am aware that i pay with my hard earned money for skills i cannot aquire on my own in a way that allows me to do things i would be unable to do in my local permission camping area.
beats spending £700 on something that doesnt interest me.
as mesquite said your point is?

You can spend twice that to sit on a beach and get fed as much rubbish as you want around a sterile pool and hospital like hotel surrounded by hundreds of ignorant people. Me, I'd rather spend the £700 and get some skills and experience in a british woodland by a world renowned company. I've yet to read a bad review of a Woodlore course, and I wouldn't swap the memories and skills gained from the ones I've been on for a lottery win.

Mother Earth provides for our needs, she hasn't left instructions on how to obtain them though.

could not agree more chaps.

 

[outdoorowain]

If only I had the money to go on a WL course. :-(
Or to go on any course for that matter.
Have fun.

 

[eraaij]

Have fun! Any decent professional would pay gladly 4 times as that for a 1-2 day workshop in his of her professional field. I can't understand the bickering on the price either.

I totally agree! I think the only "beach" holiday I've ever been on is because SWMBO wanted to spend all of our cash on some naf holiday package!!! I'd love to use the money for something like a woodlore course!

Enjoy the course

hi, i'm a total newbie to this bushcraft business, i really want to learn, in a sense i always have since i first bought lofty wisemans sas survival guide, but to me, 700 is a lot of money.... however if it is something that i want to learn then surely it must be worth the money,i recently spent 450 on a 5 day plastering course which is now making me a lot of money,however how can i justify it to the missus as a hobby?

Save up twice the money & send her to a Health Spa? Or rather, anything you know she will like.

Due respect to Woodlore and the OP but I reckon they could manage to feed you for the price ! I actually cancelled attendance on mine earlier this year and booked with a different provider - great food and a great time for half the balance owing on the WL course.

Anyway, have a great time - I am sure the quality of tuition will be excellent

twas a gift from my family combining last years birthday and christmas,
as for feeding myself i rarely if ever have the chance to do a long expedition style camp so feeding myself will add to the experience,
as for justifying courses to the other half do what i did and take her with you

Have a good one Sam

 

[Man of Tanith]

i shall do me best.

I'll be going. Just packing my kit, then unpacking, repacking, getting excited

Anyone done the course before? I did the fundamental a couple of years ago but I think this one is at a different location and was wondering if it's suitable for hammocks?

Cheers

I did the course last year and yes it's in a different location to the fundamental site.

There's plenty of trees to hang your hammock from
