Bushcraft Skills Courses
Join us at our stunning oak canopied private woodland set within the Harewood Estate of West Yorkshire. Our canopied basecamp and a wood fire ensure our clients keep dry and the kettle is always boiling so bring along your favourite brew.
All of our sessions are run with a maximum of 10 people, that way we can maintain a low presence in the forest in order to experience Nature up close. The small group sizes also ensure a high level of interaction with the instructor, we'll get plenty of one to one tuition through the workshops to develop your skills at your own pace.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, we're very open and there's no obligations.
Snowshoe Making Course
Snowshoe Making Course
Join Adam and JD for a day making your own set of modern snowshoes.
This one day indoor workshop will teach you everything you need to know to make a pair of snowshoes for travel in the deep snow. These snowshoes have been tried and tested during our Borealis Winterland Trip by instructors and clients alike in conditions from -5C down to -30C.

This hands-on experience offers an opportunity to develop practical skills in weaving and craftsmanship. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, you will explore techniques that have been used for centuries, brought into the 21st century with modern materials allowing you to create functional and aesthetically pleasing snowshoes for your winter adventures. All materials are provided, and no prior experience is necessary. Embrace the beauty of winter and leave with a custom-made pair of snowshoes, ready for your next journey in the snow.
You can expect to make a complete one snowshoe during the day course, with enough material to take home to complete your footwear ready for your next snowy adventure.
