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.

Strikefire Firesteel

from £9.95

The most reliable means of producing fire outdoors.

The StrikeFire is a new British made product using the best ferrocerium rod available, a hardened steel scraper.

The StrikeFire Firesteel is the model we use on all our courses, and one I personally carry on every excursion we undertake to rely on everyday. The difference I've found between cheap versions and quality ferrocerium comes down to their use at those crucial moments, where you need to drive strong large sparks into marginal tinder after a day or two of rain. A good firesteel will allow you to easily peel shavings off the end of the rod without igniting, and is volatile enough to use with cold hands using gross motor muscles to start your fire. That, ultimately is why I use StrikeFire. - Jamie Dakota

In this quick slide show I'd demonstrate the typical way I use a pocket knife and a firesteel to prepare birch bark for fire lighting.

If you'd like to learn more, and find out how to get the most out of your firesteel (or try several and decide for yourself) check out our weekend course below.
