The Wayfarer's Course will provide a testing but safe location to expand your bushcraft skills and develop your camp craft.

This course is very different from others we run. It is split into two halves. The first half of the course is an opportunity to learn new or revise old skills, such as spoon carving, shelter building, charcloth making, creating your own jerky, smoking fish, willow fish trap making, foraging from the coast and rivers, friction fire lighting, fishing and knife work. The second half of the course is about putting the theory into practice and learning about the realities of wilderness survival in such a wild but beautiful environment.

The theme of the course will be to travel light with a minimal amount of equipment in order to make the most of your surroundings and use the knowledge gained from previous courses.

This course will open your eyes to the opportunities available to the bushcrafter or survivalist in early winter and provide a good grounding for further adventures.

The course is run in a remote part of South West Scotland. Upon arrival, you will set up your camp and prepare your kit for the week ahead.

The course assembles on 11th November and starts on the 12th November. The Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be tuition and on the Thursday and Friday will be pitting your skills against the environment.

The Wayfarer's Course finishes on the Friday afternoon allowing you a weekend to recover and reflect on your time in South West Scotland.

The Wayfarer's Course is designed to teach you how to live comfortably in remote parts of northern Europe.
