So…first things first: what exactly is bushcraft?

Essentially, bushcraft means wilderness living skills. It is the knowledge and skills we have to live, thrive and survive in an outdoor environment.

Let’s face it, the most natural environment we can be in is the outdoors. We are hard-wired to absorb daylight, not blue light. For the last 80,000 years, sitting around a fire, forming a tribe, sharing food, stories and problem solving has been, and still is, our best form of communication.

Time perhaps, to return to basics and practice the collective skills of our ancestors once more.
