Weather Information
With a MO ‘yellow warning’, we will assess the TRIBE bushcraft centre to check it is safe to run. With a MO ‘amber warning’ or ‘red warning’ for the area, we will need to postpone or cancel the event for the day(s) the warning is in place for the safety of everyone involved. If cancelling we will provide a partial or full refund depending on what has been cancelled.
As weather warnings can be announced late, we can only apologise in advance for any changes but ultimately the safety of everyone who comes or works at TRIBE is our number one priority.

- SCAVENGER HUNT – Explore the woodland in search of items useful to any aspiring bushcrafter
- NATURE ART – Get creative with different leaves and items from nature to create a masterpiece
- TENT PEGS – Learn to safely use a bushcraft knife as you carve a functional tent peg to use later on
- TREE IDENTIFICATION – Learn the unique characteristics of the different trees found in our native woodlands
- KNOTS – Knots have amazing uses and learning how to tie them quickly makes life easier in the outdoors
- SHELTER BUILDING – Learn to build a watertight shelter using tarpaulins, paracord and the tent peg made earlier in the session
- WATER FILTERS – Use gathered materials from your surroundings to construct an effective water filter capable of clearing the debris from natural water sources, ready for boiling.
- WILLOW WEAVING – Keeping with the water theme, use willow to weave a fish to take home.
- TRIPOD & POT HOOK – How do we boil the water once we’ve filtered it? This is where these items come in handy
- WATER PURIFICATION – The water has been filtered and now to make it safe to drink. Practice fire lighting and building a fire designed to boil water quickly.
- FORAGING – Living off the land means we need to know which plants help us and which don’t, learn how to forage safely
- BREAD MAKING – Yummy! Bread twists cooked over a campfire are amazing, especially when you’ve made the fire yourself.

- LADDERS – When the tasty fruit is just out of reach or you want a shelter that is higher, a bushcraft ladder is the perfect solution
- STONE WRAPPING – Ingeniously simple but beautifully pleasing, a fun little project that is easily replicated at home
- FIRE ROLL – Using the laws of physics we learn how to produce enough heat to make fire, no matches or lighters used.
- KNOTS – Knots can be daunting but also very useful and so making it fun and easy to remember will help
- STICK HAMMOCKS – As we know the ground can be very wet and cold so making a stick hammock allows us to swing in the trees
- COOKING TRIPOD – We have a pan and a fire but nothing to rest our pan on, this is a very easy and use skill to learn to make
- PANCAKES – Do we really need to explain this one?… PANCAKES whats not to like 🙂
- CAGE TRAP – A fun little project which develops our woodland skills for living in nature, and don’t worry no animals will be trapped on our sessions.
- CLAY TEACUP AND SAUCER – Clay has been used for thousands of years and rightly so with the number of uses it has. Learn how to harvest, process and make these items
