This is our intro video which is the first in what will be many in the future showing the progress that we are making on our Viking Long House build. The kids and adults that are involved are really excited and any of the money that is donated will go towards the tools and resources that we will need to complete our project. If you want to donate any tools please get in touch we are trying to have a tool box for each child.
We still have some places left so get in touch if you are interested, we meet every other Saturday from noon - 2pm ish. We charge £7.50 per child.
We have cleared the site ready for the framework to go up and need some adults to help get the framework in place, if you are interested please get in touch
Here are our guiding principles/ethos that we work to and as you can see Family is right at the centre. We hope that in time more parents will attend sessions with their children for a total family experience immersing themselves in a stress free environment.
It is important to us that we try to instill the love of nature and the practice of give and take. Some of the activities that we run will require the children to learn the art of barter in the hope that they will see the need for people to give and take and to live harmoniously for the good of all.

We are constantly being asked for advice on equipment by our customers so have decided to dedicate a section on our recommendations and as we review more items we will set up a page. The reviews will be either editorial or videos dependant on time constraints.
Without doubt the question that we are asked most is "what kind of knife should we buy?" our answer is emphatically a Mora and dependant on how much they have to spend will depend on which one that we would suggest. However in general we would say start with the Mora Companion its light durable and will cost you around £13.99 plus P&P we are now able to supply these items.
The Mora Heavy Duty Companion Carbon knife is compact and lightweight with a length of just 225mm. It has a carbon steel, razor sharp blade which is 3.2mm thick making it excellent for batoning and more arduous work.
As always with a Morakniv the carbon is brilliant quality, it comes razor sharp out of the box.
Or you can go for the one that we use in all of our courses for our younger customers and that is the Mora safety knife it has a great grip and is really affordable at about £10.00
For our younger Bushcrafters there are two really good options and Mora sent Luke and Josh a Mora Rookie each to review and they are now on sale and cost £15.50
