Details for the Bushcraft Weekend in Dorset

Product ID: 11874

If you head into the woods in Dorset, this bushcraft weekend offers a refreshing escape from the everyday—trading screens and routines for a hands-on experience in the wild. Set among ancient woodland, you will spend the weekend learning how to live comfortably outdoors, guided by expert instructors. From lighting fires using traditional friction methods to foraging and cooking your own meals over an open flame, everything is done from scratch, no shortcuts, just practical skills. As evening arrives, you will build your own shelter using tarps or hammocks, putting your knot-tying skills to the test before settling in for a surprisingly cosy night under the stars. Along the way, you will also explore techniques like tracking, trapping, and crafting simple tools. It’s a rewarding mix of challenge and relaxation, with plenty of guidance throughout. By the end of the weekend, you will leave with new skills, great memories, and a real appreciation for life in the wild.

Customer Reviews for the Bushcraft Weekend in Dorset

We spent a weekend with John Boe on the Bushcraft survival course with my 13 year old son. A brilliant weekend, very informative and practical and John certainly has a love for the outdoors. Looking forward to attending another survival weekend in the near future. Many thanks. Dave and Ryan

Went with my 12 year old daughter and despite the weather we had a fantastic weekend. The teachers were fantastic and cannot be faulted. I would definitely do it again and would have no hesitation in recommending the course to anyone interested in bushcraft.
