Bushcraft

Bushcraft and survival skills have become extremely popular in recent years, in large part thanks to the television programmes of Ray Mears.

Learning bushcraft skills is about learning to make and cook over camp fires, to identify and forage edible plants, build shelters from ropes, tarpaulins and natural materials, and use basic tools such as knives and axes.

The study of bushcraft is enjoyable, hugely rewarding, and a valuable skill for comfortable and safe enjoyment of the outdoors.

Bushcraft Canoe Tour on Revsund is a guided canoe and camping experience ideal for those keen to learn and implement basic bushcraft skills. The tour takes place on the lake of Revsund, around the island of Ammeron in Jämtland. Accommodation is in Laplandic tents (teepees) or self-build shelters along the route.

Interest in bushcraft has grown significantly in recent years, as people seek a way to reconnect with nature and discover the pleasures and challenges of life in the wilderness and the release from dependence on modern technology. Sweden offers excellent opportunities to learn and practise bushcraft skills in beautiful natural settings, with the possibility to camp wild and a rich fauna and flora.

On this six-day canoe tour led by a local bushcraft guide, you will have the opportunity to learn a great deal about plants and wildlife, practise fire and camp building, and go fishing for your supper! You will also learn to identify edible plants from the forest and bake break and bannock, a traditional Scottish griddle cake, in a "Dutch oven" (a type of cooking pot, usually of cast iron, with a heavy cover).

Along with the challenge and adventure of an outdoor expedition, you can also expect a few special comforts, with opportunities to take a wood-heated sauna and try a lakeside "bathing barrel" hot-tub to soothe your tired muscles!

This is an ideal bushcraft experience suitable for adults and families with older children. In addition to scheduled dates, on which participants are welcome to book as solo travellers, couples, etc, Bushcraft Canoe Tour on Revsund is also bookable as a private experience for groups of 2-8 persons between May and September.

Bushcraft is a fun, challenging, and practical skill to learn - and Revsund provides the ideal environment to develop and practise your bushcraft skills in Sweden!
