Specialists in outdoor wilderness survival courses
This four day course will equip you with the skills to skin, prepare and cook a deer, work through all the different stages of hide preparation and tan a deer hide using 
natural resources to make buckskin. Buckskin is an amazing material - tough but soft, virtually windproof but breathable, durable but flexible, stretching as you move. Worn by native peoples all over the world at one time or another it was the material of choice for clothing, footwear and equipment on the wild frontier for miners, workers, trappers, mountain men and all outdoors folk in the know.

The four days will be spent entirely outdoors around a woodland base camp although there will be overhead cover available in bad weather. All meals will be provided although preparation of the daily evening meal will be a group effort.
