Fundamental Bushcraft - "Orthopedic Bracken"

If you have an innate love of the outdoors and learning skills that are on the border of extinction then I recommend a Fundamental Bushcraft course from Ray Mears. I've just come back from one and it cannot be classified as a holiday from work more a test of your mental and physical ability to survive. Many thanks to my team mates Ed, Jamie and Lawrence it was a pleasure and an honour see you on the journey man course.

Doing a course like this reminds us that even the simplist things we take for granted would take a lot more effort if we didn't have gas and electricity. One final note I can testify that a bed of bracken has exceptional orthopedic qualities.
