We are really excited to be offering a NEW bushcraft and survival expedition. A new programme is going to be intergrated into our 27 June Canoe Safari in the Coast Mountains.
Dave is a survival instructor using skills learned in the military and also time spent with First Nation peoples in Canada and other parts of the world. But ultimately his expertise has been gained with spending time with the great Canadian Bushcraft Instructor “Mors Kochanski” from who he gained his Canadian survival instructor qualification. Mors Kochanski is a Canadian bushcraft and wilderness instructor. He has a reputation as one of the world's finest bushcraft instructors and writers.
Bushcraft/wilderness travel skills covered will include:
- Basic shelter building
- Camp craft
