Ravenlore Bushcraft and Wilderness Skills

Projects, Equipment and Skills.

There is a huge industry out there providing equipment for use in the outdoors. Some of it is useful and some of it is frankly rubbish.

I have to admit I tend to be a bit of a magpie when it comes to kit.

I have bought far more stuff than I ever use and I’m still looking for that magic extra bit of equipment that will make the rest of my luggage feel lighter somehow.

One of the things Bushcraft can teach you is “Carry less by knowing more”.

This page is here to give an index to some of the small projects and handicrafts and bits of kit that make life more comfortable in the wilderness. It’s not going to be very organised because I’m not that organised myself, but from time to time I will add an extra page and put a thumbnail up here.

Ravenlore is a site promoting Bushcraft and Wilderness skills as a way of working, living and enjoying the wilderness with minimal impact on it’s resources. Bushcraft should be practised in a responsible manner with consideration for the environment and other people who seek to enjoy the outdoors.

Bushcraft skills complement many outdoor living pursuits such as walking, mountaineering, canoeing, hunting, fishing and in my case at least landscape photography. In fact I find the equipment suited to bushcraft often far exceeds the specification and usefulness of other high tech outdoor equipment.

Bushcraft and wilderness skills should always be practised with respect for the environment and other users of the outdoors. Leave No Trace.
