Bushcraft with Wye Adventures – Survive & Thrive in the Great Outdoors.
Bushcraft not only teaches valuable survival techniques but goes further and is about how to thrive in the great outdoors, sustainability and how to live off the land, its surviving and thriving in the natural environment, and the acquisition of ancient skills and knowledge to do so. Bushcraft skills include; fire-craft, tracking, hunting, fishing, shelter building, the use of tools such as knives and axes, foraging, hand-carving wood, container construction from natural materials, rope and twine-making.
We are perfectly located in the Forest of Dean on the River Wye and our Bushcraft Survival Courses are tailored towards those who want to learn how to make the best of the natural tools and resources to hand, many of these fascinating techniques are taught to the military and have been used all around the world for years helping save lives or to live in harmony with nature.
