Advanced Bushcraft- Firelighting & Cooking
How does it work?
Bushcraft is all about enjoying living and surviving in a remote, wilderness location. Our 250 acre site is nestled in the Mendip Hills AONB, and full of thick, beautiful ancient woodland. Let our expert instructors show you how to survive and thrive in the wild.
What will we do?
You'll meet our team at our activity centre, before heading into the woodland. Along our way to our secret clearing, your instructor will act as your forest guide, pointing out interesting flora and fauna and all about British woodland. At our secret clearing, the focus of this session will be on advanced fire lighting skills, such as friction firelighting, and open fire cooking which could include dough twists and wild garlic. Depending on the day and season, you might try and find natural ingredients and learn how to make a fire in several different ways.
Who are these activities for?
If you're booking individual spaces on this session, it's available for ages 12+. If no spaces have sold, you can book the session exclusively for your group of up to 10 people by selecting the "Private group" option- perfect for adult groups. If you book the session exclusively we can relax the age restriction and you can bring children aged eight.
What to wear?
Wear old clothes you don't mind getting muddy or damp, walking boots are great, trainers are okay. You'll meet at our main activity centre and then it's a little wander through the woods to find out secret, clearing in the woods.
