We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children” Haida Indian saying.
The ancient wilderness living skills which today are grouped loosely together under the somewhat romantic title of Bushcraft are the skills of our forebears, practical skills which enabled them to make fire, find shelter, water and food in an often unfriendly world, but they are also skills which taught them a deep respect for nature and the world around them.
It is these same skills and this same respect that we at Bearclaw Bushcraft teach today for they have not changed in millennia.
More than this our ancestors vast knowledge also enabled them to live in harmony with nature and helped them to foster a deeper understanding of the passing seasons as well as the circle of life of which, we too, are still a part.
We look forward to you one day joining us in the glowing warmth and friendship of our camp fire, a place which has always been the traditional starting point for all great journeys. Its glowing heart is the stepping stone on to the ancient paths and trails where our ancestors once, so wisely trod, and a place were we hope to guide you as you begin your own bushcraft journey.

'Bushcraft isnt the destination, but the pathway'
Fasach Ile courses suspended
It is with deep sadness that I have to announce Bearclaw is suspending all future Fasach Ile courses until further notice.
The reasons for this is numerious but rest assured we are actively seeking a new location with more skillful local guides to assist us with a view of making the NEW Fasach Ile course even more exciting, far ranging, educational but above MORE FUN!

At a time like this ol' Bearclaw says,
English proverb
"A smooth sea never made a skilful mariner."
Sir Winston Churchill
"The French cannot forgive us because they owe us so much"

About Me
- Gary
- Born and living in Essex I become interested in Bushcraft long before it was even called Bushcraft!! Joining the Army from school I was lucky enough to do one of the last All Arms military E&E exercises - Exercise Ludwigs Lair. This is where I was bitten by the bug - from there I did many more Survival and E&E courses before leaving the Army after 15 years service. Upon leaving the forces I treated myself to a Ray Mears fundamental course and amazed at the differences and similarities between survival skills and bushcraft skills I saved up for two years to do a second course with woodlore - the time and effort paid off. Having gotten a distinction on my courses Woodlore asked me to join their team and for 3 years I worked with Ray, Ben and Juha - Happy days in did. Eventually, learning new skills and wanting to teach things in my own unique way I left Woodlore and set up Bearclaw Bushcraft. Bearclaw is now in its fifth year and our courses both in UK and Sweden have proven very popular and sucessful!!
