Bushcraft Equipment

For overnight courses you should bring whatever items you would normally take Camping. We will supply most of the cooking equipment but you may wish to bring your own plastic or metal Bowl or Plate, a Mug, and a Spoon. If you wish to bring a Bushcraft Knife please ensure it has a Fixed (Not Folding Blade), and is of a reasonable quality. We have some excellent Knives available for loan or purchase at a reasonable cost.
