I went on a two-day Introduction to Bushcraft Course last weekend. It's one of many courses provided by Woodlore - a company run by Ray Mears. The course was held on Etchingham Farm, East Sussex.
The weather wasn't good, especially as I'd recently returned from Morocco where it was mild. Although it was cold and it snowed and occasionally hailed, thankfully the snow didn't settle and the air was quite still. Sleeping under tarp left me exposed to the elements a little. However it offered some nice moonlite views and I could track the path of the moon behind the trees as I lay awake.
The course covered, amongst other things, methods for lighting fire, how to build an improvised shelter, clothing & equipment, and identifying & use of various trees and plants.
Here's some photos.
