Ahoy fellow bushcrafters!
Woodlore have introduced three new courses to their ever so extensive repertoire. 'Fire lighting techniques', 'Rekindling the Fundamentals' and 'walk in the woods with Ray Mears'.
I have completed the Fundamental Bushcraft course with woodlore and I absolutely loved it, I had a great time and can't wait to get back to do another course. The new courses they are offering look great, with fire lighting being one of the most important skills of bushcraft and the 'rekindling the fundamentals' course revising the skills that can easily be forgotten without the facilities to practice them (land use, free time etc.). And of course the 'walk in the woods with Ray Mears', which I thought would be fantastic, until I looked at the details of the 'course'. Of course a walk in the woods with the very man himself would be sublime but £350 for a nature walk seems rather extensive to me. The walk lasts the best part of a day and I realised that that price is over half the amount that my Fundamental course cost, only the fundy was six days long and I met Ray at it anyway. Why the massive price? I have massive respect for Ray and his company, but this is just a bit too much I think.
Rant over.
Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this course and its pricing, more details can be found on the woodlore website: www.raymears.com.
No affiliation etc etc (not that you would suspect it)
Cheers
