Woodland Ways Week - 5 Day Survival Course - East Lothian
The Woodland Ways Week is a carefully paced, five-day immersion into woodland living, bushcraft, and self-reliance—designed for those who value depth, discretion, and genuine skill development. It represents a deliberate step away from modern convenience and towards a quieter, more competent way of living in the natural world.
This is not a survival course, nor is it about endurance or deprivation. Instead, it is an invitation to live well in the woodland using sound judgement, traditional craft, and simple tools. Comfort, efficiency, and attentiveness are prioritised throughout, allowing participants to experience what it means to be truly settled in one place.
The course is best suited to those with prior bushcraft experience. Participants should already be comfortable camping outdoors, lighting fires with a ferro rod, and spending extended periods away from modern infrastructure. This ensures the week can unfold at a considered pace, with less emphasis on instruction and more on refinement, understanding, and practice.
Food during the week is centred on wild game and seasonal resources, reflecting availability and ethical sourcing. Vegetarian and other dietary requirements can be accommodated with prior notice and are approached with equal care and respect.
