BushCraft Ireland

Crapbag

Hi Guys,

Our website is now up and running. Bear in mind that it is still under construction

http://www.irishbushcraftclub.org

I will update the club thread soon with details of our trip to IPNA

IPNA

It was great to have all of the lads and ladies down for the weekend. Anna, Greg and I enjoyed your company and look forward to your next visit.
I will use any excuse to spend time in the woods, especially with motivated and wonderful people.

Aebhric, Anna and Greg

I know it seems like the thread has stagnated on the thread but I can asure you that things are ticking away in the background, albeit slowly. Coming up to the college new year, Im busy trying to get bits and bobs done before im back out into the winter training so I have had to refocus slightly on that. However Im hoping to get another meeting going soon before it gets too cold for people. The weather lately hasnt helped. I hope people are still going to be interested in doing stuff over the winter

Hi All,

I can't believe i found this thread and other people in Ireland are actually interested in this kind of thing, I love Bushcraft (Not great at it but still love it)

I often head out into the wild at weekends with my books messing about and trying to get fire going, build shelters etc.

I have searched so hard before for a survival course in Ireland but could not find any so decided i will have to resort to the UK early next year. Is there any survival courses in Ireland???

I would be very interested to hear about your next pursuit or any details you may have, Let me know,

Thanks,

Sometimes It may be a good thing that the whole country is not into the same passtime. There are Bushcraft Courses in Ireland. You just have to find them. I have been on Primitive Living 1 run by Anthonio Akkermans of wild-live.org . Its not a survival course as such but is a great introduction to Primitive Living and Bushcraft. It is based in Castle Ward in County Down . Not to far to drive from Dublin and cheaper than flying . There is other courses from other people I have not attended any of these so I cannot comment. I attended the meetup in Castle Ward recently and it was great to meetup with people who are intrested in the same thing.
Last of all, always check out information thats given out over the web as what people believe to be true and comment on may not always be true.
Check out The Irish Bushcraft Club.

Agreed. A website is one thing, even a forum can be host of miss information. The best thing to do is meet the people. That is why we were in Kerry, Galway and Castleward. To get out, meet people with similar interests and practice skills. Thats the foundation for the club

Hi ste2006,

You dont say where abouts you are from in the country or where you are looking for a course. As others here have said, the Irish bushcraft club is probably your best bet as you will get to meet like minded people. Some of these people will have been on courses here and abroad so you will get first hand information on the various schools.

Also the bushcraft club website which is still under construction by the way will have links to resources that have been used by the members. Eventually there will be a good database of bushcraft information and knowledge that we can all benefit from.
