What people who have attended this course have said;
"We went on a fantastic family bushcraft day with Red Oak Bushcrafts. It was really well paced day that the whole family (my wife & I and our 2 children aged 6 & 7) thoroughly enjoyed. The kids were never bored and stayed well engaged while we felt that we were also learning something worthwhile. A really fun way to spend some quality family time, thanks!"
"Fantastic family bonding day. Great, relaxed but engaging bushcraft experience suitable for the whole family. We were greeted with a lovely toasty fire in the morning where after a cup of tea we started building shelters and playing with different tarp combinations. The experience included purifying water after lunch, and making fire in a variety of different ways. Good combination of hands on practical learning as well as instruction from skilled professionals! Suitable for novices and folks with varying degrees of skill."
