Shows

Throughout the year Woodlife Trails attends a number of Outdoor shows.

Our talks, demonstrations, activities and hands-on exhibits mainly centre on nature, wildlife and tracking (feeding signs, plaster casts, skulls, bones and scat) and how to get closer to woodland and forest inhabitants using bushcraft, tracking and field-craft techniques. We also talk about Bushcraft and the Law.

Our interactive demonstrations include: friction fire-lighting, knife-safety, carving techniques, spoon carving, introduction to tracking (using a "spoor-pit") plaster casts, field-craft and natural camouflage techniques. The demos are fun and aimed at people of all ages.

National Trust Wildcamp Weekend

This weekend, Woodlife Trails hosted the second and final Wildcamp Experience weekend at Hatfield Forest.

As with the previous weekend, the event was fully booked and 20 lucky people came into the forest to experience the wonderful forest.

Despite a couple of short, sharp showers, the weekend was sunny and warm and the participants enjoyed a number of demonstrations put on by JP and myself like night tracking, fire-lighting, knife safety, tracking and nature awareness and plant and tree ID. Some had a go at a few carving skills.

On Saturday evening we even had a go at badger watching. It was always going to be a challenge with 20 people but everyone at least heard the badgers snickering in the undergrowth.

This group were really attentive and everyone seemed to leave on Sunday with a new skills and an experience that they probably won’t forget in a hurry.

Thanks to the Woodlife assistants; Richard, Hannah and Beccy for the guidance and patience.

Wilderness Gathering 2012

As I reported in the last post, the Wilderness Gathering’s 10th anniversary was held from Thursday last week until Sunday.

As always it was great to meet up with old mates and colleagues and share skills and stories.

Woodlife Trails helped out with the Coyote kids which were keen to learn about the tracks and signs animals leave behind. As well as the normal squirrel feeding signs we were lucky to pick up some nuts eaten away by a vole.

While Pablo did his usual Bushcraft and the Law lecture, JP held a fire-by-friction session where everyone who wanted to managed to get an ember, despite the high humidity.

The Table (or tables) of Death went down very well as they normally do and we had a lot of interest in our Bushcraft and Tracking courses.

Our shop (in progress) also sparked a bit of interest. Most items you can now get online here.

As usual, we must make a mention the Woodlife Makers Guild who, I am proud to say, have taken the Woodlife name and who excel in the area of woodcraft, metalcraft, leathercraft and err… canoe-building craft. It was great to see John Arthur, Richard, Jason and Joe (respectively.)

Thanks also to Beccy, Hannah who helped out continuously throughout the weekend and Griggers and Tom who also stood their turn at the stand.

The Trailer of Death won’t even be unloaded as we head for Hatfield forest next weekend for a National Trust show, closely followed by a National Trust wildcamp weekend for families.

Thanks for the visit.
