BUILD A SOLID FOUNDATION >>>

When you’re learning carpentry, you don’t start by framing a house. You start by learning how to swing a hammer. If you’re training to be a mechanic, you don’t take on rebuilding a small-block Chevy your first day. You learn how to turn a wrench. Just like these trades, bushcraft skills don’t come overnight. You don’t start out with that elevated pioneer platform shelter the first time you go out in the woods. You start by learning the essentials. You need building blocks. If you want to cultivate something that lasts and do it right, start with a rock-solid foundation…

Here’s what you’ll learn in this 1-day course: 

  • Essential knots and lashings
  • Safe and effective use of knives, axes, and saws
  • Carving a baton and learning essential notches
  • Firecraft, including processing wood and starting fire without matches or a lighter
  • Basic tree and plant identification to better know your resources
  • Useful camp tools you can make while enjoying your campfire
  • Quick and easy tarp shelters to keep you dry

And here’s what else you’ll get with the course: 

  •  A hot, home-cooked lunch to keep you going throughout the day
  • Unlimited email support with our instructors after the class is over
No prior experience is required for this class, but we recommend bringing a daypack with some basic necessities (see our FAQs for what we suggest) and comfortable shoes for hiking. Bushcraft is the art of learning how to utilize nature’s resources to meet your needs, so you can travel lighter and live more in harmony with the land. Come let us give you a set of building blocks to learn how.

STEVE MULLINAX - BUSHCRAFT INSTRUCTOR

Steve Mullinax serves as SARCRAFT’s bushcraft skills instructor. He is a lifelong outdoorsman, having camped, hiked, backpacked, hunted, fished, and paddled the woods and waters of North Georgia for as long as he can remember. After learning that the skills he grew up with went by the name “bushcraft,” he dove into training professionally with both feet. He has trained with legendary instructor Ray Mears at the Woodlore School in England, arguably one of the premier outdoor skills schools on the planet. He has also worked one-on-one learning from the great woods hippie Jeff Gottlieb at Nantahala Outdoor Center. In his spare time, Steve enjoys doing the same things he teaches – bushcraft, hunting, fishing, and exploring the woods, in addition to spending quality time with his wife, Paula.
