Pioneer Bushcraft Course – 5 Day

The Pioneer Bushcraft course is a 5 day intensive course covering the fundamentals of bushcraft in a much greater depth than our weekend courses.

This course was developed after requests by customers for a longer and more comprehensive bushcraft course for beginners and those who wanted a greater grounding and immersion in the fundamental topics.

Short (1 day and 2 day) courses are brilliant to introduce you to the basics of bushcraft, but they are unfortunately limited on time, and the huge subject matter can only be touched on.

Our Pioneer Bushcraft 5 day course gives you much more time to become more confident in your skills and techniques, with the expert guidance of the Wilderness Pioneers instructors.

By the end of this course you will have the confidence that comes from the knowledge that you can thrive outdoors, even in adverse conditions, and have the skills that enable you to work in harmony with the natural environment.
