bushcraft experience                          

   The Bushcraft Experience course focuses on spending a lot of time out in the remote woods of County Kerry, Ireland. Classes will be held while wild camping as well as at the IPNA campus near Cahersiveen. 

   Courses will include: Animal tracking, bird language, nature awareness, survival shelters, aidless navigation, primitive tools and weapons, trapping, fishing and long term bushcraft. An introduction to Outdoor First aid will also be taught.

   There will be multiple overnight bushcraft trips spent in different locations around the Ring of Kerry. During the final trip students will be encouraged to practise the bushcraft skills they have learned.
