co instructing Bushcraft course

[Siberianfury]

I just had a read through of a thread called "bushcraft instructor" by my freind laurence, the thread stemed from a casual conversation about bushcraft schools and i think he took it a bit seriously. anyway for those who read the thread, this might seem like a bit of an update.


i have recently (in the last couple of months) received a work placement with a small bushcraft school, ive been helping the instructor out with afew things in preperation for a 1 day bushcraft taster session in a weeks time. we have made a lean to shelter at the site of the course, and are planning to set up a tarp next to it, to offer a comparison between modern and traditional.

anyway, i will be co teaching the course with him very soon, personaly he has said i could cover knife skills, trapping, firelighting and carving. whilst i am nervous about this i am also hugley excited, and have spent far too much of my time honing my knife saftey, researching wild plants, trap designs, ecosystems within the forest ect.

ive also just had a full CRB check to go with my level 2 first aid, whilst these arent amazing qualifications or papers, its a start at least.

Hi Josh,

I remember you started a thread a while back about starting up your own bushcraft school and teaching, I remember you had a pretty hard time of it as well from some people and some practical advice from others.

Well done for not being put off what you wanted to do and for taking the constructive advice and moving forward with it, learning and honing your skills while also doing the CRB and first aid training. There is so much to running a business and it's great to see you linking up with experienced and established instructors to learn your trade.

Good luck, I hope it goes well as I am sure it will.

Well done. Been following your progress on FB with some interest. I do have to say that with regards to the course you're starting you seem to be showing a new level of ability and maturity. Sure you will do well. I know the guys at the school and have been there on a couple of courses and they are a great bunch of guys and will be of countless benefit.

Good luck.
