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.

Wild Strawberry Tea

Jamie Dakota

As Spring explodes around us, it’s a wonderful time of year to interact with your local environment and get to know your neighbourhood plants.

In this micro blog I wanted to share with you a quick nature fix I took, by collecting some wild strawberry leaves on my walk with the family and making a simple cup of wild green tea.

Gear Review: Rab Ladakh GTX Jacket

Jamie Dakota

I’ve been wearing the Ladakh Jacket all winter since early November when Rab sent it to me, during every outing and course, mountain day to school run. I’ve spent 6 hours out during storm Ciara and 4 hours out in storm Dennis to gain a full appreciation of what this jacket is actually like under those circumstances.

Mountain Equipment: The Longest Line

Jamie Dakota

We’ve had some interest in the equipment we used for such a mobile expedition over challenging terrain, and with some of our kit being so generously provided to us my a few excellent companies, I thought I’d quickly lay out what we took with us and how it performed.

Canoeing Glen Affric

Jamie Dakota

What follows is a trip report, a reminiscence of sorts covering a short canoe trip myself and my colleague Max took to Glen Affric at the start of January 2019. I’ve tied my field notes together with a few captions from Max of the two nights we spent under winters Orion, in some of the finest country I’d had the pleasure to journey through.

Dark Peak Nessh Jacket with Robin Heath

Jamie Dakota

We were recently supported by Dark Peak for a charity fund raising expedition in which we attempted to walk the longest line in the UK possible without crossing a road. The route took us 71km over the Cairngorms and crossed rivers, munros, cliffs, bogs, etc. along the way. Our intention was to raise money for Scottish mountain rescue.  During our journey we experienced some of the most brutal October weather conditions I have ever experienced.

Gear Review: Rab Electron Jacket

Jamie Dakota

Over the winter months here in the UK I’m often out on personal trips and climbs, ranging from the forests to the mountains, refilling my own adventure quota having spent the year focusing on courses. It’s on these trips that I like to travel light, walk far, and go places I’ve not been before. I get a lot of my articles written, and take plenty of photographs. At any given time I can be sat still for an hour waiting for the right lighting for a shot, or pounding hell for leather across a high plateau in an ice filled gale. Having clothing that can handle the environment is critical, so when Rab sent me their Electron Jacket and asked me for my thoughts on how it held up during those trips I was happy to oblige.

Trip Report: The Longest Line

Jamie Dakota

In October 2019 my good friend Jamie Dakota (Howl Bushcraft) and I embarked on an ambitious challenge to walk the longest straight line possible in the UK without crossing a road. The intention of this was to highlight the need for sensible route choice and decision making in the wilds of Scotland whilst simultaneously raising money for mountain based charities, most notably Scottish mountain rescue.
