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.

Peregrine Days: Water Crossing Course.

Bushcraft Courses

Join us at our extensive woodland venue of over a thousand acres in the north of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, or our stunning oak canopied private woodland set within the Harewood Estate of West Yorkshire. Our canopied basecamp and a wood fire ensure our clients keep dry and the kettle is always boiling so bring along your favourite brew.

All of our sessions are run with a maximum of either 10 or 8 people, that way we can maintain a low presence in the forest in order to experience Nature up close. The small group sizes also ensure a high level of interaction with the instructor, we'll get plenty of one to one tuition through the workshops to develop your skills at your own pace.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, we're very open and there's no obligations.

Peregrine Days: Water Crossing Course.

£105.00

This day course is pulled straight from the highlights reel on our longer Peregrine Bushcraft Course and covers a suite of detailed, practical methods for approaching the high risk prospect of a river crossing.

NEW FOR 2024

Sometimes when we’re travelling outdoors we may come across a stream which has swollen with heavy rain and now cannot be simply hopped over, or we may have chosen a long distance trail which includes some rivers to cross and we need to know how to tackle this obstacle safely.

Building on classic mountain skills, we’ve developed this stand alone day course for anyone looking for a robust and flexible set of methods to step out into the water without being swept away. Being delivered by experienced and friendly instructors, it’s also a wickedly fun day out!
