Devon and Cornwall Bushcraft
Practical skills taught by people who live them.
Since 2018, we’ve helped beginners, families, groups and experienced outdoors people build confidence through practical learning in real woodland settings.
View Courses & Events
Learning by doing. We keep instruction practical, approachable and rooted in useful outdoor skills.
What we’re about
Bushcraft is most useful when it gives people confidence rather than just information. Our courses and events focus on understanding a skill, seeing it demonstrated properly and then having the time and support to practise it yourself.
Sessions can cover bushcraft, survival skills, fire lighting, tracking, foraging, woodland crafts and traditional rural skills across Devon, Cornwall and the wider South West. We also plan corporate team building and away days in Devon for businesses looking for practical woodland activities.
