Bushcraft is the practice and knowledge that
can help you to experience nature in a more indigenous way. This
course offers a fun introduction, tailored for the family group, to
this vast and fascinating subject. You will gain an insight into
the land we use, of wild food, and an appreciation of nature. It is
a great way to learn about the history of our ancestors and their
early way of life.
Bushcraft can encompass a wide range of
skills, practices and ethics and for many, it offers an opportunity
to get out and about and experience a weekend of adventure far
removed from their ordinary lives.
Based around the picturesque banks of Loch
Lomond and led by a qualified bushcraft instructor, the group will
participate in a weekend of exciting bushcraft activities including
fire lighting methods, improvised natural shelter building, water
collection and identification of plants and trees for food. The
course is run primarily in the outdoors from a group parachute tent
and in the woodland and countryside surrounding the hostel.
You don’t need to have any previous outdoor
experience but a moderate level of fitness will enable you to enjoy
the experience more. Youngsters must be 12 years of age or over and
accompanied by a parent. Group numbers are kept small allowing you
to take full advantage of the instructor’s knowledge and
expertise.
