    Woodland for sale

    I have a lovely area of complete wilderness for sale. It's very tranquil. It's called the 'Sea of Tranquility'. It's on the Moon so you won't get disturbed. Any takers? You know what, I've got this whole "zero gravity bushcraft" thing in my business plan, so that sounds spot on! A book, a set...

    Bushcraft as a Duke of Edinburgh's Award Skill

    Pm me an e-mail addy and I'll copy the files over to you. We used Garrick, from Forest Knights, to deliver our course. A good all rounder, although something of a hippy. ;)

    Fat men can't hunt

    I saw last nights episode and was really gobsmacked! I wonder what these people were actually expecting to experience when they signed up. Surely a little bit of research wouldn't have been too much to expect of people who were about to throw themselves into this sort of set up? You'd have...

    Bushcraft as a Duke of Edinburgh's Award Skill

    We've used this as a skill area several times for DoE people, and have also generated an AQA accreditation for those who want to go that route and have a 12 week course written up and ready to roll at a moments notice (designed by young people). With regards to the DoE thing, I'd encourage...

    CRK Mountaineer 1

    the only question now is, what do i put in the hollow handle? You could put an Opinel knife in it. Always handy to have a knife around! ;)

    How to start a school

    "i think useless's point was that the original poster could set up a a school teaching first aid for the outdoors" Indeed, that was my point. Also, I've interviewed people in the past who were less interested in taking a job, more interested in getting away from one. I've been there myself...

    How to start a school

    Hi jlw538uk First off, don't be offended by anyone's comments here. On the whole this is a great place. Once you get past the (very little) blunt talk from experienced woods folk, I hope you'll come to agree. I know nothing about starting schools, and a very little about bushcraft. I know...

    Why did the Bushcrafter cross the road?

    Because Ray Mears did it on the TV (series 76: episode 4)

    I saw this... and thought of me!

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/6168641.stm So, does this make ear defenders a sensible bush craft item for beginners?

    latest must have bushcraft accessory, photo's.

    That last photo looks like the ultimate bit of kit! Multi use tent. How did it handle cooking inside? Did you use an open fire or a trangia? :D

    Thanks for the replies people. Weekend Warrior I also attended a Forest Knight's course and learnt things (and also stuff), along with having a goodtime. Limaed, I have been looking into the NUCO stuff, and suspect that is the direction I would be likely to go in, I was just wondering if...

    Advice sought - first aid training

    Hi there I'm toying withthe idea of getting myself trained up to offer first aid training, with the maximum at first being the "First Aid At Work" course, perhaps branching out if this brings in some fun work. Any advice on suitable training companies, and proces, most welcomed. Thanks

    Car winter kit

    Hi there Having read elsewhere about survival kits, I thought i would seek peoples ideas about a car kit for winter. I guess the scenarios are that, 3 weeks (or more) after the initial enthusiasm of making the kit....... 1) Stuck in some gods awful traffic jam for 8 hours, very cold...

    Course recommendations

    I would like to be the first one here to recommend Forest Knights stuff. I've been on a couple of their courses and really enjoyed them both. very well run, excellent woodland that just goes on for miles. Learnt lots of things, always left feeling very relaxed. The staff team couldn't do enough...

    Best place to learn to Canoe

    Ah, but Wayne, what we really need is a Forest Knights course combining canoe and bushcraft. When's that happening? ;)

    Lowest Form

    I think I might be an example of the majority of th membership here. I don't often have much to say, because I don't think I know much about this stuff. I call in every now and then, pick up a thread that interests, or even excites me (it happens, I don't get out much) and might watch that...

    Bushcraft by any other name

    I'm rubbish at this sort of thing. I aspire to "bushcraft", but fear my own practise is more "Privett Hedge Craft"!
