From the Publisher

Develop a relationship with nature by sharpening up your senses. Be aware of the smell in the air just before a rainstorm. Sit silently under a tree and observe nature go about her daily routine around you.

Bushcraft is a way of thriving in the natural environment and about developing skills that help you adapt to your surroundings – from cooking on a campfire to making dens and practical crafts using natural materials.

There’s nothing more delicious or satisfying than a meal sourced 100% from nature. When you know what to look for you’ll soon see that at the right time of year mother nature provides us with a fabulous feast for the picking.

You don’t need lots of equipment to have fun outside. Just a few ideas, some simple rules, willingness to be a bit silly and wide open space. Games are great ways for children to exercise and bond together in a shared experience.
