Bush craft
Venture deeper into the art of living wild, with bush craft.
Bush craft can be described as the art of living in a natural environment. It is a set of skills and knowledge which enable you to survive outdoors without the luxuries and appliances of the modern world. In its purest sense, it is coming back to basics with the ability to provide your own shelter, warmth, food and water in any environment.
A half day workshop with Living Wild will guide you through the basics of Bush craft. Beginning with a guided meditation to help you to arrive in the woods, and feel grounded and connected. You will forage for wild food and useful medicinal plants, practice your knife skills and learn about natural tinder, before refining your fire making skills and cooking over the fire. Taking time in nature to let your wild side free. Please contact if you are interested in booking this half day workshop.
You may wish to include bush craft in a bespoke workshop where you can choose which elements you would like to explore. You can choose from :
