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!!
