This course is designed to strengthen your mental endurance and to give you the basics of camp management, hunting, preparing animals for eating, fire starting. It is an intensive course even though it is basic – you will be put through a real life scenario as if you were in that situation.

Cost £100 per day for an adult, children £75 per day for a day’s tuition from 10am to 4pm. These courses run all year round preferably on a Sunday but midweek can be arranged. Please contact Stuart via email or mobile for course details and timings.

What’s included in the price?
You will learn the health and safety first before we do any bushcraft work. Children’s bushcraft birthday parties from 35 pound per child maximum booking – 6. I MAY BE ABLE TO ADD SOME BIRDS OF PREY TO THAT.
Really enjoyable day for both me and my 12 year old son. We covered firelighting, rabbit skinning and butchery and basic shelter building. We both came away armed with additional knowledge and an enthusiasm to put into practice what we had learned.
Excellent day spent between bushcraft and forging a rustic knife. Great teacher – patient and friendly – defo one to go on for a whole lot of skill learning.
Half day course in firelighting methods. What I thought I knew was nothing to what I was taught. You have heard of Bear Grylls well Stuart is just as good in my opinion! Time and moeny well spent.
Half days’s specialist course in tracking, firelighting and advanced shelter building. Already had a basic knowledge but this took me beyond that and taught me a lot that I did not know. Stuart is patient and does not hurry you. Well worth the money. Highly recommended.
I did a one to one session with Stuart and was a bit apprehensive being a complete novice but I did not have to worry as Stuart is a very pleasant, easygoing and attentive tutor and is an excellent teacher. Under his direction I happily came away having learned how to start a fire using 3 different methods, I made a basic lean-to shelter and also learned some forraging techniques. Book a course with Stuart as he makes it a very individual experience and has a wealth of knowledge to share. Highly recommended.
Customer Testimonial
My son is very interested in bush-craft and survival so we asked Stuart to come along and teach us some practical skills such as making shelters, basic knife work, making fire naturally and animal tracking. Stuart obviously knows his stuff and was a good, patient but demanding teacher (no bad thing for a youngster IMO). My son’s comment on the day “it was interesting and fun and I learnt a lot of things”. We’ll be doing more “dads and lads” stuff with Stuart next year. Dave (49 ¾) and Elliot (9 ¾)
Brilliant day out was had by all! Daughter aka Feral loved the whole thing (me too) especially the fire lighting! I’ve now been given a wish list, and she’s already raided my stuff to make up a survival kit. “Incase of the end of the world, or a zombie attack”? Bush craft was taught with good humour, endless patience and a shed load of knowledge 🙂
