Near Me Survival Bushcraft

Weve been offering wilderness survival training, bush craft, and nature awareness courses since 1994. These are extraordinary skills to learn. These kills once mastered can be passed down to family. In turn, they will pass them down to their children and so on.

What is Bush Craft?

What is bushcraft? The definition is - "skill in anything pertaining to bush country."

This is a term that describes specific skills that came about from wilderness living in the Boreal Forests of Canada. And other northern wilderness throughout the world.

The North American Fur Trade was a booming economy and brought many to the north lands. Bush skills were needed to work and live in these extreme conditions.

Bush Skills

Woodcraft skills learned and borrowed from Indigenous peoples from north America including the Inuit. The Sami people from Europe and Asia. We respect and thank native peoples for their ancient wisdom. Whose woods wisdom saved many lives.

The Great Alaska Gold Rush

Beginning in 1869 Alaska Klondike Gold Rush was much same. Adventurers hopeful to hit it big in the Gold Fields came woefully unprepared. And many died. A Ton of Goods  was mandatory to enter  through Canada on the way to the Alaskan goldfields.

Reflecting on the amount of survival gear and of these "Sourdoughs" hauled up the Chilkoot trail.

Living in the extreme and the Bush Craft skills you need

Late spring and summer are fairly forgiving in bush country. The exception being biting flies and mosquitoes. About anywhere in the fair months of summer you will find these unforgiving buzzing insects.

One of the first rules in the backcountry in summer is understanding how these miniscule creatures can create chaos and panic to the uninitiated.

Insects have drove men insane due to their sheer numbers. But there are simple ways to prevent from being bitten. And prevent serious skin infection and disease.

Clothing is your first defense against biting insects

For traveling in bushcraft country clothing is your first line of protection from the elements. Which also include vast numbers of biting insects. Such as black flies, deer flies, mosquitoes, midges, ticks, and no-see-um.

Know before you go. Ticks

Recommended insect deterrent clothing for traveling in the Bush

  • wide brimmed hat also sheds rain and protects ears from sunburn.
  • mosquito net that covers your hat, face, neck, and long enough you can tuck it into your jacket or shirt.
  • long sleeved zipper or button jacket with high collar to help protect the back of the neck and ears
  • full legged pants with cargo pockets and leather belt
  • leather gloves
  • above the ankle boots

Fire-Craft

One of the most important skills you can develop to survive in the bush is Fire Craft. You must have the skill to make a warming fire day or night. Regardless of weather and temperature. Fire is so important to wilderness survival that it is rated as the number 1 most necessary bushcraft skill to learn.

In Closing

To make do in the north country survival and bush craft skills must be studied and learned. You must know how to dress properly, build a fire under all weather conditions, and follow the ancient wisdom of living nature's balance. If you are to survive.
