Outdoor gear from our essentials CATEGORY

“I founded HowlBushcraft in 2014 as a means to share my insights and passion for the outdoors. Having spent the majority of the last 20 years exploring the woodlands of the UK, I wanted to create a series of courses to allow people to engage with natural world in a very practical way. It has long been my belief that making use of our natural world in a succinct and respectful way can only act to bring us closer to it, and that through thoughtful, concise skills we can disencumber our adventures in the wild."

At Howl we specialise in journeying skills, the Bushcraft we practice and teach is that of the traveler. There is a wonderful simplicity that comes from taking a trip in the outdoors, a pragmatism gleaned from necessity. We draw from this experience in the field to teach a set of skills and knowledge based in expedience and realism, skills that actually get used while outdoors. We provide an insight into the Natural world, opening up a vast array of natural resources and knowledge to help you travel with less reliance on the contents of your rucksack: it’s what you carry in your mind that matters.

We teach these practical skills in a friendly and open way, our hope being to enable you to make your adventures into the Great Outdoors memorable and enjoyable. We'll help you cultivate a positive attitude, a confidence in yourself, and a connection with the natural world through which you travel.

We promote the utmost respect for the environment, the ability to pass unnoticed through the woods brings with it a deeper understanding of the wilderness, and our part in it. It is this philosophy which forms the very core of our work.

Howl Bushcraft offers an inspiring journey into the heart of nature, where you can acquire essential outdoor skills that empower you to thrive in the wilderness. Our teaching approach blends expert knowledge with hands-on experience, ensuring that every participant, whether a novice or a seasoned outdoors person, feels welcomed and capable. We focus not only on practical techniques such as foraging, shelter building, and firecraft, but also on fostering a genuine respect for the natural world. Each workshop is designed to promote sustainability, encouraging a deeper understanding of our environment and the interconnections within it. At Howl Bushcraft, we believe that every outdoor adventure is an opportunity for personal growth and connection with fellow nature enthusiasts. Embark on a journey with us, where learning is a shared adventure, and every experience enriches your relationship with the wild.
