Customer Reviews
This is a well organized comprehensive course.
āBasicā does not mean easy. The time requirements add appropriate stress to simulate a survival situation. Instructors are top notch and truly invested in teaching. That said, come prepared. This class would be very tough without dirt time to practice the fundamentals skills before the class.
I just came back from the Bushcraft 101 course (3/2023) I had read the books but to be able to put the book teaching into actual hands-on teaching with really awesome instructors made it worth all of the difficulties I faced being the only 1st time student. But.....would I do it all over again? Definitely, and I'm hoping to attend the Advanced Bushcraft course once it's available to take. Until then, there are others courses that I'm looking forward to. Not only do the instructors teach what is in the course curriculum but throughout there are practical tidbits that you pick up along the way. Looking forward to more time at the Pathfinder School
Have not been to that particular class yet but the Basic Survival was awesome. I plan to do the bushcraft 101 then the Intermediate class. The instructors and venue is absolutely perfect, the training is truly the best you can get in this field.
Took this class in April, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Learning bushcraft skills allows you to take notice of your surroundings and utilize the materials at hand to supplement your kit. Highly recommended.
I took the Bushcraft 101 class in July and it was great! The class was laid back, with plenty of time for interaction with the instructors and fellow students. Numerous projects were completed and we left with a sense of accomplishment by doing many new bushcraft skills. I have a new found appreciation for the ability to work wood to accomplish tasks. As background, I took the basic survival class about 5 years ago and found this class to be much more laid back, but just as informative. As usual, Dave and his instructors were amazing! My only regret is that I wish that I could have attended the March class (cancelled because of Covid-19) because the July class was significantly warmer.
Thanks again, SRO... Another satisfied customer!
