In the Back Woods Awakening course, we leave the protection of social and commercial camping environments like campgrounds, lake lots and backyards to face a new level of challenge- the backcountry. This course is all about expeditions and learning to overcome environmental challenges that hikers and those moving long distances across wilderness terrain might experience on a regular basis. The course content is a series of exercises and scenarios designed to teach and build your skills so that you can both feel and be better prepared when you make your first ventures into the backcountry.

In addition, we will learn about natural fibre rope and the complete process of making fire by friction.

Wilderness Axe Craft (6 Days, 5 Nights) • $1150.00

Course Details

In the Wilderness Axe Craft course, we set up an expedition base camp in the wilderness and explore the use of the ax. Our comfortable and stable foothold in the natural environment could be stocked and provisioned for a fall hunting season, a funky summer barbecue party with friends or turned into a cross-country skiing destination. To get our work done efficiently and quickly, we will learn to safely use the powerful yet portable tool of a pioneer- the axe. During this remarkable week, you will accomplish a large scale building project that involves safely falling small trees, limbing and sectioning to construct a camp.

Prerequisite: Bashers, Bivis and Bushcraft (or by challenging the Bashers, Bivis and Bushcraft course) or Wild Survival (or by challenging the Wild Survival course)
