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.

Read MoreHaving bought the Jerry Can from Lifesaver over 18 months ago now, and having used it multiple days each week while delivering bushcraft courses in the UK, I feel I can now give an accurate review.
Read MoreWhat I look for in a warm weather top then is something light and breathable to keep me cool, fast drying so a summer downpour is quickly forgotten, tough and durable to handle the adventurous nature of this lifestyle, and something that’ll help protect against those biting insects.
Read MoreFor several years now I have been using Summiteer backpacks for outdoor use. The packs I use are customised to my own specifications but are closest to: the Crag Rocket and the Rhino.
Read MoreI’ve been wearing the Ladakh Jacket all winter since early November when Rab sent it to me, during every outing and course, mountain day to school run. I’ve spent 6 hours out during storm Ciara and 4 hours out in storm Dennis to gain a full appreciation of what this jacket is actually like under those circumstances.
Read MoreI’ve been using this tent for a while now, but in this review ill be using my experience of this tent from out recent endeavor, when we attempted to cross the Cairngorms on a single bearing, in October, On the trip we experienced persistent heavy rain and gusts of up to 60mph, so in other words... we tested it well!
Read MoreI needed a lighter weight, synthetic mountain shell… I had to come to Keela for advice as they’d never let me down before. We were aiming to cross the Cairngorms for a fundraising effort, and Keela was there to support us: Enter the Stratus Shell Jacket.
Read MoreWe were recently supported by Dark Peak for a charity fund raising expedition in which we attempted to walk the longest line in the UK possible without crossing a road. The route took us 71km over the Cairngorms and crossed rivers, munros, cliffs, bogs, etc. along the way. Our intention was to raise money for Scottish mountain rescue. During our journey we experienced some of the most brutal October weather conditions I have ever experienced.
Read MoreOver the winter months here in the UK I’m often out on personal trips and climbs, ranging from the forests to the mountains, refilling my own adventure quota having spent the year focusing on courses. It’s on these trips that I like to travel light, walk far, and go places I’ve not been before. I get a lot of my articles written, and take plenty of photographs. At any given time I can be sat still for an hour waiting for the right lighting for a shot, or pounding hell for leather across a high plateau in an ice filled gale. Having clothing that can handle the environment is critical, so when Rab sent me their Electron Jacket and asked me for my thoughts on how it held up during those trips I was happy to oblige.
Read MoreAs we were to be very active in our trek, we required an outfit that could handle tough weather conditions and be robust enough to endure classic abseils and scrambles, and yet breathable and comfortable for the energetic assents: Rab supplied us with their new Shadow Hoodies.
