Home of The Year Course UK
Guiding you through a world leading journey of practical ancestral skills with experience-led practices rooted in nature’s rhythms.
The Year Course — Living by Nature invites you to step out of the modern frenzy and into the whispering hush of ancient woodlands. Over the span of a year, you’ll embark on a deeply connective journey: ten monthly weekends among trees and campfires, a focused craft-week devoted to hand-made creation, and finally a 10-day wilderness expedition to Sweden — all designed to transform learning into living.
This is not a skills workshop — it’s a reawakening. As the seasons shift, so too will your rhythm: forging fire by friction, carving tools from wood, tanning hides, building shelters, sourcing water, foraging, fishing and preserving food.
You’ll craft your own basket, leather boots, clay pots, cordage from forest plants — even fashion nets and bone hooks. Night by night, under flickering firelight, you’ll taste bread baked on embers, smoke venison jerky, stitch rawhide, and learn the ancient language of the wild.
By the end, you won’t just know bushcraft — you will inhabit it. Instructors with lifetimes of field-experience will guide you until wilderness-living becomes second nature.
For those hungry to cast off the digital tether — to feel alive, alert and unshackled — this course gives you the tools, the space, and the tribe to remember what it means to belong to the land.

My approach to bushcraft is an honest and simple one, I go out into the Nature to make journeys, and connect with the landscape I find myself in; in this way my bushcraft has been informed by expedience and practicality. In essence I look to knowledge, and then skills, which can be used to augment the connection with Nature and not impeach upon it. True bushcraft should always be subtle, in the background, and supportive. It is the foundation on which great adventure can be built.
