If you have not been to wilderness before its a weekend packed with bushcraft, adventure and survival. You get 6 1 hour workshops with a bushcraft expert, a number of inspiring main-stage talks, a big live bushcraft demonstration and Saturday evening entertainment that normally involves some fire.
Joffery Watson Speed carver
We are delighted to confirm that we have something rather different this year. We are pleased to welcome Joffery Watson, a chainsaw speed carver.
Joffery will be carving a bench throughout the day and their will be workshops available to not only see some intricate chain saw carving (relatively) close up but to also get involved with the construction of the bench. Joffery will also give a 1/2 hour speed carve demo during the day.
Whilst this isn’t strictly Bushcraft, our event is very much about anything outdoors and we are really pleased to be adding something different this year.
The Army Engagement team will be running a series of workshops covering navigation using bearings, compasses and maps.
