Course Information:

Have you ever wanted to know how prehistoric man made their tools?

On this course we are joined by Karl Lee, one of the countries leading Flintknappers, (making of Prehistoric tools), and Primitive Technologists. The course begins on the Friday night where we set up camp and enjoy a game evening meal, which of course you prepare yourself using a modern bushcraft knife.

After a night under the stars we will guide you through pre historic hand axe production, and how to make flakes for butchery and hide scrapers. You will then have the opportunity to use your tools to prepare your meals. We will also work with you on the production of blade cores and basic survival tools.

On the second day we step up a gear and work on the production of finer tools where you will initially make a leaf point arrowhead, followed by the production of a fully fledged arrow using hazel from the woodland. You will also be using the scrapers and blade core tools produced on day one for all of your work, enabling you to come away with the confidence that you could produce useable tools without the use of modern equipment.

All food and equipment is provided on the course, and you are able to take away all tools that you have produced over the weekend. The workshops take place within our large bell tents, complete with wood burning stove for extra warmth!

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the UK’s leading experts for a weekend, and early booking is recommended as places are booking up fast.
