bushcraft day
For people who are keen to channel their inner Bear Grylls and experience the freedom and power of learning basic survival skills. This day is a fun way to connect with colleagues and challenge yourself to learn outside of your comfort zone.
Our bushcraft day is a wonderful opportunity to escape from the confines of the office and tap into your primeval memory, rekindling skills that our ancestors would have thrived upon many generations ago. Perfectly balancing risk and excitement, this day will help you to become more confident, mindful and connected with the world around you.
Overview
Immerse yourself in the great outdoors for the day to learn a whole range of skills designed to help you survive in the wild. You'll get to use knives safely, light fires, bake bread, throw axes and learn some basic foraging and wild food preparation techniques.
