This course will take place on Northwest Natura’s private forest land in Whatcom County off Highway 542 near Maple Falls, WA. Driving directions and details on what to bring with you will be provided in an email as the event date approaches.

Bushcraft is a term used to describe the practice of skills which aid in living outdoors. Here are the skills we will cover in this crash course:

Survival Basics focused on Shelter

Shelter – survival shelter construction

Fire making without a lighter

Knot-tying and lashing basics.

Tools of the trade and practice using them.

Knife and ax skills

We will practice all of these skills together in this full-day course. Knives and ferro rods provided for the day.

You are encouraged to bring your own outdoor tools such as a knife, ax, fire starter, tarp, containers (pots, water bottles), paracord, first aid kit, etc. so you can practice with your kit. I can answer any questions about your gear and help you troubleshoot issues you may have with them.

Space is limited to 10.
