Learning to Thrive in the Wild: A Bushcraft Weekend in Dorset

What does it take to survive in the wild? Two members of the Let it Be Centre team set out to answer this question during an immersive bushcraft weekend in the lush forests of Dorset, UK.

This short documentary takes you behind the scenes of their adventure, where they learned to embrace self-sufficiency and gain practical survival skills in nature.

Skills for the Wild

Guided by expert instructors, the weekend focused on essential bushcraft techniques, including:

• Fire-making: Discovering the art of creating warmth and light.

• Shelter-building: Learning to create safe, comfortable spaces in the wild.

• Foraging: Identifying edible plants and other natural resources.

Through hands-on learning and teamwork, the participants not only acquired survival skills but also developed a deeper connection to nature and a renewed appreciation for its beauty and challenges.

A Weekend of Transformation

More than just a skills workshop, this bushcraft weekend was a journey of personal growth and discovery. It reminded us how stepping out of our comfort zones can lead to newfound confidence and self-reliance.
