Bushcraft Adventure Day: Awaken Your Inner Survivalist | The Forge

The Forge Corwen

For anyone who’s ever watched Bear Grylls and thought, “I could do that” (or at least wanted to try), our Bushcraft Adventure Day is your chance to step into the wild and rediscover the freedom, confidence, and quiet power of basic survival skills.

Designed for curious beginners and adventurous spirits alike, this immersive outdoor experience is a fun and meaningful way to connect with colleagues, challenge yourself, and learn something completely outside your usual comfort zone. It’s about swapping keyboards for campfires, meetings for mindfulness, and the everyday for something a little more… primeval.

Escape the Office. Reconnect with Your Roots.

Our bushcraft day is a rare opportunity to step away from the confines of the office and into nature, where learning becomes hands-on, instinctive, and deeply satisfying. As the pace slows and the fire crackles, you’ll find yourself tapping into ancient skills that our ancestors relied on for generations—skills that still resonate with us today.

Perfectly balancing risk and excitement, this experience encourages you to be present, trust yourself, and engage fully with the world around you. By the end of the day, most people leave feeling more confident, grounded, and connected—not just to nature, but to each other.

Over the course of the day, you’ll immerse yourself in the great outdoors and learn a wide range of practical bushcraft skills, all taught in a safe, supportive, and engaging way. These include:

  • Safe knife handling to craft your own wooden tools
  • Essential knots and shelter-building techniques
  • Fire lighting skills, including the challenge of fire by friction
  • Cooking over an open fire, including baking traditional bannock bread
  • Basic foraging and wild food preparation
  • Axe throwing (yes, really!)

No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to get stuck in and try something new.
