Do you make a living out of bushcraft?

Chris, you are more than qualified to make a statement that you make a living from Bushcraft. There would be no bushcraft if you couldn't survive.
I dont instruct bushcraft, but I am an outdoor instructror.(sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing etc.)
I want to do my mountain leader this year, and long term get in to leading expeditions overseas.

I would love to make a living out of teaching bushcraft skills, or even just teaching wild food gathering.
People have said I'm a good teacher in the past so I think I would be good at handling a group and i think it would be quite fun.

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
I'm currently a secondary maths teacher so not sure if I'd want to do it as a living, but I love the hobby aspect and have a go at almost anything. Just got back from the Bushcraft Magazine Weekend (no connection just pleased with what went on http://www.bushcraft-magazine.co.uk/courses.php). Saturday using a forge to make gypsy Irons, pokers, etc and Sunday I came home with a tillered ash Long bow and a bundle bow (Thread to follow)
Well, don't know if this qualifies as bushcraft per se, but I ran a trap line
for 5 or 6 winters in my late teens and early 20's...real low stress work...
do it at your own speed kinda thing, lots of fresh air and exercise, snowshoeing, etc., but the season is only about 4 months...other income required
Anyhow, I guess the question was geared more toward those who teach
bushcraft in various forms, which over here is not so common....never
heard of bushcraft groups or courses here, but maybe they exist?

Cool. Never heard of these guys before; they must advertise everywhere
but here.... mind you Alberta IS a few thousand km from here...
the courses look like a lot of fun, especially the drum thing...
That would be my dream job i think i'd wait until i had a little more expierience and then i could pass on my experience to those less expierences XD
