We are based in North West Lancashire, and offer a number of unique opportunities for you to take part in one of the oldest forms of camping that dates back to the early pioneers. This is camping without tents and using the minimum of equipment, cooking on open fires with or without utensils. We are interested in showing people the beauty of camping with the minimum of equipment using woodcraft, and woodlore.
We offer backwoods and bushcraft training or tailored tuition for Individuals, Small Groups, Families, Schools, Scouts, Youth Groups, Corporate events, Work Shops, shows, etc
We provide a number of different courses, including site selection and safety, putting up bashers, shelter building both natural and improvised, safe use of axe and saw, different fire lighting techniques, backwoods cooking, basic knots and lashings, camp gadgets, improvised tools and utensils, making and using camp ovens, plus lots more. all of which can be adapted to your personal requirements; starting with something for beginners, or something for those of you who are a little more advanced.
For the beginner our aim is to start with an introduction into backwoodsmanship that will enable you to gain practical hands on experience without the fear of feeling out of your depth. Each aspect of the course is designed to encourage you to get the most out of the experience, and to improve at your own pace in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We also do Pioneering courses, pioneering knot tying and building things with ropes poles and spars, pioneering is ideal for learning leadership skills, and team building, and can be an alternative activity for Schools, Youth Groups, Businesses, and Individuals.
