Hawk's head woodcraft

Welcome to the world of Woodcraft.

For all of my life I have had the privilege to live and work in the beautiful countryside of Britain, from the granite hills and moors of Devon and Cornwall to the mountains of Scotland I have shaped my life. From the woodland glades to the high peaks , the nature of this land has inspired many, and yet there are those who might for lack of knowledge see themselves as somehow separate from this great nature.

Survival in the wild seems more about struggling against than becoming a part of nature, so I will not be talking about cutting down trees to build shelters or killing wild animals for food, these things have their place and I respect the practitioners and teachers of both, I have spent my life doing these things and yet as the world becomes smaller there is not often the space for the amateur survivalist to pursue such ventures without effecting others.


What I would like to achieve here is an understanding, a preparation, a walk through the woods or a night on the moors where few will have noticed your impact, for with the right skills and knowledge you will leave little trace you were ever there.
I will discuss the Kit you might need, the preparations, the law, food and fire in the time to come. With the right equipment and a good knowledge, your enjoyment of the countryside will be far enriched, it is truly amazing what the average person is able to achieve.

In the near future I will be offering practical sessions on "wild" camping, animal tracking and the use and maintenance of your valuable kit, Archery lessons to enable you to connect to the past as well as many other adventures, so feel free to contact me with suggestions and please watch this space.
Look after your land and the land will look after you.
