Rewild Yourself: Bushcraft Weekend

Step out of the stress and unending To Do lists of modern life by coming on a bushcraft weekend. This is your chance to rewild yourself, to reconnect with nature and your ancestors who lived this way for millennia.

This is not about macho survival. This is about learning how to be completely at home in the outdoors, learning skills that make it fun, safe and relaxing to be in nature.

We start with a walk to explore our surroundings and get to know our home for the day. We’ll do some foraging and natural navigation where you learn to read and connect with the environment. Then it’s time to build our shelter!

With this, we can protect ourselves, shelter a fire and make a workspace. We will forage and improvise materials and let the design of the structure be influenced by availability, time and skill. No two shelters are the same.

Now it’s time for the magic of fire.

Once we’ve built a fire, we’ll have warmth, a way to purify our water and cook our food, and even create a signal if we need it. Here you will have a chance to explore various fire making techniques from a flint and steel to a bow drill.

As soon as shelter and fire are established we can look at our other needs, problem solving and making our stay more comfortable: brew pine tea, make simple camp tools, improvise cordage, sit and be still.
