APPLIED BUSHCRAFT KIT LIST

This kit list is designed to help you decide what clothing and equipment to bring to your course. Having the right kit will make your
experience more enjoyable and enable you to focus more on learning.
In the past we have been asked by clients for help in sourcing certain items of kit. This kit list therefore includes options stocked by Woodlore
which have been tried and tested by Ray Mears and the Woodlore Team. There is of course no obligation to buy from us.

All items listed in red are essential for this course. All other items are just recommendations.
The kit you bring with you needs to be durable yet lightweight as you will be carrying your kit with you for much of the course
light is right.
