Bronze Age sword making course
I had a great time at the Earth Lodge making my sword. Still a lot of work to do on it though. Even with the aid of some modern tools it makes you realise just how long it would have taken to make such an item back in the Bronze Age. Will has a vast experience built up over decades and I shall look forward to learning more from him on the coming courses that I am already booked on or will be booking. Overall a fantastic day, and look forward to going back there in the future.
Foraging from the carcass
What a great weekend. Cold and windy but coffee always on the go. Dismembering a deer and then eating.. Tanning the hide was very interesting and it’s surprising what can be achieved in a small time. To complete the experience also camped out. That’s a birthday I shall never forget. Wills instructions and guidance was invaluable and he has a vast knowledge. Always feel welcome and looking forward to another course soon.
A great weekend of learning, fun and escapism
Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and felt a little bit closer to understanding our ancestors skills. Very accessible and Will is a master of ancient technology and a great (and understanding) tutor as well as a great host … highly recommended! I’ll certainly be going back again for my
21st Century life therapy….
Awesome
What an amazing day of flint knapping with Will. Superb knowledge, great communicator, interesting stories, amazing artefacts, incredible demonstrations (which of course makes flint keeping look so easy) and a genuinely super nice guy (a rare combination in this modern world). I’m currently looking at Will’s other courses to book on.
Legendary Opportunity to Spend Time With This Man
Will is a walking encyclopaedia of ancestral knowledge and skills for how to not just survive, but live, in our natural habitat. Having attended a few such events before, I had some idea of what to expect, but I have never encountered such integral knowledge. :
Not just a font of technical knowledge, not just skilled in every craft he speaks of, but a humbly embodied, unpretentious human being who teaches without feeling like a teacher, and displays expertise that other men could be arrogant or annoying with.
I’ve met foragers and bush medicine people and natural craftspeople, but not all fused into one person. He brings the knowledge of all 3 to every plant I saw him look at…
A great teacher to learn from; a great facilitator to enable and empower you and/or your kids and an easy man to be around. Highly Recommend anything he does.
