Back to nature basics  –

Skills & nature experience weekend 

 

Immersing yourself in nature for a full weekend, experience nature and learning new skills.

Cooking over a fire, learning and experiencing new things, having conversations while staring in the flames, and waking with birdsong.

A weekend to challenge or immerse and ‘reset’ yourself. It won’t be hardcore survival, but it will be basic.

What to expect?

A weekend with ample opportunity to learn, experience, get to know yourself better, and most probably get inspired to spend more time in nature. Do you have a fairly limited experience and knowledge of ‘bushcraft’ and (living in) nature, but do you enjoy spending time in nature? Would you like to step out of daily life to go back to the basics for a weekend, pondering over your life while gathering some firewood?

Then this might just be the ideal weekend for you….join us and discover your inner bushman/woman ;-).

The program will consist out of the following: 

  • Firelighting and using fire (wood types, tinder, nope not the app ;-), firelighting methods)
  • Working (safely) with a knife
  • Nature experience and nature awareness
  • Setting up a tarp shelter and the knots that come in handy for this
  • Edible and usable plants and trees
  • cooking over the fire
  • enjoying pure and healthy food
  • Time and opportunity to experience nature individually
  • Opportunity to get to know each other (and yourself better)

During this weekend you will need a ‘fixed’ knife (so no ‘swiss’ pocketknife), you will receive one to take home.
