About the event

Step off the beaten path and reconnect with the land during Wild Roots, a one-of-a-kind weekend experience in ancient woodland, where you'll immerse yourself in essential wilderness living and homesteading skills. Running from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, June 6th–8th, 2025, this hands-on course is designed to inspire self-sufficiency, confidence, and a deeper connection to the natural world.


Begin by establishing your basecamp and fire, and meet your fellow adventurers around the flames on Friday evening.

 

Then, dive into two full days of practical and immersive learning, including:
• Woodland foraging and open-fire cookery
• Fire-making mastery
• Hunting skills and tracking techniques
• Traditional butchery and wild game preparation
• Food preservation methods
• Wildlife awareness and nature connection
• Introductory woodworking and tool use


Spend your nights under the stars in a hammock beneath the canopy, surrounded by the sounds of the wild. All meals and refreshments are included, prepared by participants using fresh vegetables, wild game, and alternative dietary options—cooked communally over an open fire.
