KIT
LIST
Please don't go out and spend loads
of money on shiny new kit. Part of the philosophy of bushcraft is to
carry less by learning more. Come along to one of our courses, spend
some time figuring out what the essentials are, before spending money
on kit that you may find you don't really need.
To book, call Bushcraft
Ireland on 087 2266922, or email info@bushcraftireland.com
for a booking form.

CLOTHING
For all our courses
we recommend that you bring practical outdoor clothing that
will dry quickly.
In cold weather
its better to have several layers of clothing rather than one
or two heavy layers. You should bring a warm hat, waterproof
/ windproof jacket.
Try to avoid cotton
T-shirts, these will stay wet and will conduct heat away from
the body. Bring a couple of woolly jumpers or fleeces, (wool
is better).
Avoid bringing
jeans, they take a long time to dry, a pair of old combats or
work trousers are ideal. A pair of strong walking boots are
essential, also as many changes of socks as you can fit into
your rucksack.
