You are nature

We evolved outdoors surrounded by nature, we are tool-using hominids, which is why being outside appeals to us so much. We are meant to be outside.

In the same way, a badger will continue to dig even if you take away the need to dig by giving it a home. Human beings like all other animals on his planet have instinctual behaviour. In fact, we know that endorphins are released in animals (including us) when we engage in instinctual behaviour. This makes perfect evolutionary sense. So why are we drawn to connect with the natural world? because its what we are supposed to be doing.

Woodcraft (or bushcraft) is a practice that reconnects us with skills that are innate within all of us. Using tools in nature to create the items we need, foraging for wild food and medicine, understanding the use of trees and plants, lighting fires with nothing but a couple of sticks, knowing how to collect and clean water, understanding how to live in, and with nature, this knowledge is your birthright. 

We want to give this back to you, it’s yours. Understanding and connecting with nature through these skills helps us to feel a part of nature again, to fulfil our instinctual need.
