Sorry I havent been updating the blog recently but we've had a busy old time at bearclaw.
So whats new?
Firstly my mate Frenchy is now producing some cracking traditional crook knives - Mora blades mounted in the materials of your choice and designed to be used in the traditional manner as a draw knife. With a little practice they can also be easily adapted for use in spoon carving - one knife for the whole job cant be a bad think!!
Also were pleased to announce that in the waning months of last year we contacted Fjallraven and suggested they make a 45 litre version of their 20 litre Vintage sack (a excellent sack which is the choice of the whole bearclaw team!!) - anyway the guys at Fjellraven took this on board and we are pleased to announce they will be arriving/released in Feb 2008 - this is excellent news as these really are the best sacks I've every come across!
I'm working on a couple of articles too - one about Knife and cutting tool care - the other is a picturial on the classic rabbit stew cooked over the fire.
Hope this brief update has wetted your appetite - see you soon.

'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!!
