WILDWOOD BUSHCRAFT

"A superb experience, both challenging and rewarding. Leon's knowledge is deep and his approach to instructing is engaging without being dogmatic. I had no idea how tough I would find the greatly reduced diet but there is no greater incentive to learn than when your eating depends on it...

​

"...I came away feeling even more inspired by the natural world, invigorated for the challenges of modern city life with a fresh perspective on the excessive consumption that has become the norm. I highly recommend the Bushcraft Survival Challenge to anyone who wants an introduction to this fascinating area of learning with the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained and get out of your comfort zone." - Ollie D.

"I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for organising and running such a superb course.  The 4 day challenge was a first for me, something I have never attempted before and a real eye opener into my own capabilities, limits and knowledge. The way you explain a situation and method through your own experience is fantastic. Really brings the whole challenge to life by relating to past examples and real life references. Couple this with a good company and great chats around the campfire, you really can’t go wrong this survival challenge. You know exactly when to be involved, when to give guidance and when to step back and let us make the next move. I was initially worried that I had bitten off more than I was capable of.... but, with everyone in a pretty similar position to myself, we all became a great close group of friends.

"Shelter building and putting this to the test by sleeping in it night after night, was the highlight for me. You really cannot explain to someone just how important a good shelter is for survival until you build one and live in it. The same goes for foraging and water collection / purification. It’s a real eye opener to the things we take for granted every day and I thank you Leon, for bringing these basic needs right into the forefront of survival basics.

"I have come away from the survival challenge feeling very humbled, educated and with a feeling of great accomplishment (along with Insane hunger and crave of coffee!). I cannot think of a better course to learn about Bushcraft, the natural world around you and the many ways to survive when things are out of your control. Thank you for the experience, your time and wisdom. I am very much looking forward to joining another of your courses in the future." Phil B.
