One-day bushcraft & survival foundation

Paul Kirtley heads the instructional team at Frontier Bushcraft. The stated philosophy is realistic, pragmatic and practical, without romantic embellishment.

The Bushcraft and Survival Foundation is a single day, and the lowest-commitment entry point into Frontier's syllabus. Fire and shelter fundamentals, enough to know whether the teaching style suits you before committing to a weekend or a six-day immersion.

The whole progression sits above this one day: the Bushcraft Essentials weekend, then the six-day Elementary Wilderness Bushcraft, then Intermediate, and specialist strands like navigation, axecraft and tracking alongside. This is where the map begins. Groups are kept low, though a specific cap is not published on the site.
