Bushcraft
Perry - Thu, 12/17/2020 - 17:36This was a fantastic class with top shelf instruction from experienced yet humble and approachable guys. I made some great contacts and friendships while I was there. I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and I will attend more classes in the future. I highly recommend taking this advanced bushcraft class or any other of Randall's Adventure classes. Sign up and show up ready to learn. You won't be disappointed.
Not very practical considering the name
JamesGibsonIsMyHero - Mon, 11/07/2022 - 11:02Did I enjoy this class? Yes. It was great to spend a couple days in the "woods" with like-minded people. James Gibson and Patrick Rollins knowledge was top notch. I have taken this class TWICE and there a couple things I did not like..
This is an "Advanced Bushcraft" class. That being said, this class should only consist of "bushcraft" skills. In my two visits we made a saw (3 hours of one day) consisting of nuts and bolts as well as a saw blade that can not be sourced from the bush and contained parts that were purchased from Home Depot/Lowes. We also made a sewing kit that consisted of PVC pipe which also can not be sourced from the bush and was purchased from Home Depot/Lowes. Waxed canvas bags consisted of thread/needles/Toilet bowl rings & Linseed oil that were also purchased from Home Depot/Lowes
The various ways of fire making were great, as was the shelter making and natural cordage lessons. I wish they had spent more time on traps/snares, spoon carving, weapons, flint knapping and various other things that would benefit a true "bushcrafter".
That being said.... The best thing gained from this class was the camaraderie and relations I built with various like minded people. I have taken this class twice, and would love to take it again as a nice, relaxing weekend getaway, but I will only do so if it actually becomes a true "bushcraft" class.
Exceeded Expectations
James Bush - Mon, 12/11/2023 - 18:58I thoroughly enjoyed the three day advanced bushcraft weekend. I have spent many years in the outdoors and enjoy hiking, camping, and just generally being outside. I'm a life-long student and I'm always looking for new ways to grow and sharpen my skills. There are no better instructors than Patrick and James, both of whom I consider masters in the art of bushcraft; they were friendly, patient, and eager to teach and I l came away with many new skills. Also, my fellow classmates were great and we all learned from each other as well. Overall, this was a great experience and I look forward to attending another session in the future.
