COURSE DESCRIPTION

Outdoor life can be made even better with a few smart hacks! Our Bushcraft Hacks class is the result of over a decade of time spent in the woods, learning tricks and tips to make your outdoor adventures more comfortable. Whether it's beating wet ground by hanging up your backpack with a woodland coat hanger, starting a fire with your flashlight, carving a spatula if you forget one, or using a quick-release knot to untie your shelter faster, the possibilities are endless when it comes to convenience at camp. Join us for a fun and relaxed two days of bushcrafting, where our staff will teach you dozens of camp hacks to make outdoor life that much easier!
