Nature Skills & Bushcraft

Learn to Navigate at Castle Semple, Clyde Muirshiel

Bushcraft is about understanding nature, and in many situations it’s about using traditional outdoor skills and knowledge.

Experiences and courses can cover a broad range of topics, including basic elements of survival (e.g. food, water, shelter, fire, and navigation), wild foods, fungi forays, birch craft, basketry, chord making, felt making, weather indicators, tracking animals, story telling, carving and more.

But it is not just about these skills, it is about discovering yourself, maybe finding time to escape from your normal life, feeling a sense of peace and wellbeing just from being outdoors and having time to observe nature and maybe understand natures importance.
