At Howl we specialise in journeying skills, the Bushcraft we practice and teach is that of the traveler. There is a wonderful simplicity that comes from taking a trip in the outdoors, a pragmatism gleaned from necessity. We draw from this experience in the field to teach a set of skills and knowledge based in expedience and realism, skills that actually get used while outdoors. We provide an insight into the Natural world, opening up a vast array of natural resources and knowledge to help you travel with less reliance on the contents of your rucksack: it’s what you carry in your mind that matters.
We teach these practical skills in a friendly and open way, our hope being to enable you to make your adventures into the Great Outdoors memorable and enjoyable. We'll help you cultivate a positive attitude, a confidence in yourself, and a connection with the natural world through which you travel.
We promote the utmost respect for the environment, the ability to pass unnoticed through the woods brings with it a deeper understanding of the wilderness, and our part in it. It is this philosophy which forms the very core of our work.

In the short slideshow below I demonstrate how I use birch bark, a pocket knife and a Fire Steel to light a fire.
I hope you found that useful, if you do things differently I love to hear from you so feel free to leave a comment below.
If you're tired of cheap, hard ferro rods that won't allow for this technique I sell a good quality british made Firesteel HERE. These are the firesteels I use during all our courses, and the one I carry myself everyday.
