    What a great course! Absolutely packed with useful stuff - great value for money, and great company...although I'm sure there was a warthog near the sleeping area...

    Made it back in time for the restaurant, so my life wasn't truncated...

    Cheers,

    Scott

    Well,i guess after completing my 2nd course with Bushcraftexpeditions within the last month,
    i thought it only fair and just to put in my two pennys' worth.
    A course in itself is only as good as the people who teach it,and in that respect we did'nt go wanting..Not only do the instructors have a huge well of bushcraft knowledge and expierience between them,but they are great "teachers" too(something which does'nt always go together),highly personable and strike a good balance between learning,spontaneity, and just as important for me......lots of good humour!!!!
    For anybody who,like me,has a thirst for learning about how to look after themselves in the great outdoors,this course would be a great place to start(Along with the Foundation Course)
    No doubt i will be back for more in the future!
    See you then Chaps!!!!!
    Cheers

    Of course, take whatever you want. unfortunately they are not the quality of your SLR photos, but they'll do.
    I have a lot more - some with guts n stuff, but thought them a little far out for Facebook, but let me know if you want any more.

    Hi Guys

    We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, despite arriving late in the pouring rain!
    Really informative week with some great people - particularly liked the foraging walks and the final day where we collected our own items was really useful to practice what we'd learned.

    Happily I found my camera buried in our kit and although we didn't take many, there are online HERE.

    If there is any chance of emailing out some of the books referred to during the week, that would be really helpful!

    Thanks
