Tim S reviewed: 1 Day Spoon Carving Course

"Excellent day in wonderful surroundings. Gary's teaching was thorough and clear and he is very approachable for advice and help. With the help of Paul and Alison we had a very enjoyable time in "the camp" learning how to use a hatchet, knives and goughing tool to make our spoons. Definitely recommend it as a fun day developing new skills."

Jack Raven Bushcraft responded:

"Thanks Tim, hope to see you for some pole lathing!"

Jim Mawson reviewed: 1 Day Foraging Course

"The wife and I did the foraging course in May ‘24, and had an absolutely lovely time. Gary and his partner Nicola we very friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and took us for a delightful stroll about the countryside local to Dunn St Farm, stopping to talk frequently about the different plant species we found, how to identify them and their uses both for food and medicine. We gathered our findings as a group and the tour wound up at an incredible rustic camp in the woods where we cooked it all up to a fabulous meal for everyone - was not expecting the last part but absolutely loved it! We’re now looking forward to exploring our local countryside again to see what we can find :)"

Jack Raven Bushcraft responded:

"Cheers Jim, glad you enjoyed your day with us. Gary"

Beth Walker reviewed: 1 Day Spoon Carving Course

"One of the best days off I've had in ages! Gary and Nicola were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, not only about carving but a wide range of Bush craft and making skills. Set in a beautiful private woodland, the space was well set up and had everything needed for the day. Really excellent instructions and process, I think this is excellent value for money. Really recommend! "
