The Bushcraft Show 2014

The Bushcraft Show is taking place between the 24th May and 26th May at Catton Hall in Derbyshire.

This is what we’re up to this year…

Tracker Central

Whether you are a beginner or experienced; enthusiast or expert come and visit the Tracker Central area at the Woodlife Trails stand at the Bushcraft Show. Renowned UK wildlife tracking experts JP and Pablo will invite you to pull up a chair around the fire and chat about all things tracking, bushcraft and wildlife. You will also be able to view their gallery and nature exhibits and interact with the birds of prey.

From their stand they will be talking, demonstrating and getting you personally involved in:

• Field-craft skills and techniques taken from military, law enforcement and countryman experiences;
• Track and sign identification and interpretation using elements of their famous "table of death" wildlife exhibits;
• UK indigenous countryside skills such as trapping, snaring, and hunting with birds of prey and, of course;
• Bushcraft skills which underpin everything tracking.

There will be special show offers if you sign up for their unique tracking courses which are held in association with the National Trust in Hatfield Forest, Essex. Visit our website at www.woodlife.co.uk for more details

The art of tracking is not new - it was our first ever science!
