Bushcraft is the art of learning to live comfortably in a wilderness environment using the minimum of modern equipment. To enable us to feel at home within the natural world it is necessary for us to develop a wide range of skills and knowledge that would have been second nature to our ancestors.

Bushcraft is a popular term for wilderness skills in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The term was popularised in the southern hemisphere by Les Hiddins (The Bush Tucker Man) in Australia as well as in the northern hemisphere by Mors Kochanski (Canada)and in the United Kingdom due to the popularity of Ray Mears.

Bushcraft skills include; firecraft, tracking, hunting, shelter building, the use of tools such as knives and axes, foraging, hand-carving wood, container construction from natural materials, rope and twine-making, and many others. These are the kinds of skills well known to our ancient predecessors, many of which are still practiced today as an everyday skill amongst aboriginal and native peoples around the world.

We have filmed mostly on Gower peninsular in southwest Wales. This beautiful rugged peninsular was designated Britain’s first area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) in 1956. The Area covers 188 sq Km with a coastline of 59 Km. Its complex geological formation has created a diverse range of terrain, condensed into a relatively small area.The South coast of Gower is predominantly carboniferous limestone which has formed into spectacular cliffs and sandy bays, popular with Rock climbers and surfers. The north coast is dominated by salt marshes and sand dunes, which support a range of flora and fauna to rival any in the UK. The History of Gower is as rich and diverse as its geography. Archaeological investigations have produced evidence of human habitation from the Palaeolithic period onwards including the discovery in 1826 of a red Ochre stained human skeleton in Paviland Cave. This skeleton was originally believed to have been that of a woman and was therefore named the Red Lady of Paviland. It has since been identified as the skeleton of a young man who lived 29,000 years ago. This is the oldest set of human remains found in the UK, and the oldest ceremonial burial in Western Europe. The skeleton was found along with jewellery made from ivory, as well as a mammoth skull and other animal bones. The inland sections of Gower play host to large areas of common land and sandstone heath ridges, including the majestic Cefn Bryn. Steep sided glacial valleys support plentiful deciduous and coniferous woodlands, perfect for the study of Bushcraft skills
