I am thinking of going on a one week bushcraft course. I ve never been on one before but have been practicing bushcraft for many years and i am fairly competent at it. I picked up some leaflets at the wildernessgathering and i liked the look of the Woodland Survival Crafts with Dave Watson his woodland survival skills open college level two course sounded good, has any one been on this course and if so what did they think?

These are the other leaflets with the courses i picked up, any recommendations???

*Woodland Survival Crafts- Woodland Survival Skills?
*Bearclaw Bush Craft- Wilderness Survival?
*Bison Bushcraft-One Week Wilderness Skills Course?
*Woodlore- Fundamental Bushcraft?
:pack:

You'll probably get personal reccomendations for all those schools from our members here. Probably your best bet is to give the instructors a call and have a chat to them.... then you can make up your own mind which one suits you best.

My advice it to do your reasearch and exchange your hard earned cash with the person who will give you what you want in terms of skills.

Have a chat with people and see who you get along with best and try to find out about their teaching styles.
