The strongest knot is the one you can’t even see. 🪶

In our last Bushcraft Course we learned the invisible knot, a simple piece of cordage craft that hides its own ends and holds everything tight and clean. 🪢

We used it to build an atlatl, the ancient spear-thrower our ancestors hunted with long before the bow. 🎯 No screws, no glue. Just wood, natural cordage and a knot that disappears into the binding. We also worked with beeswax 🐝 and even some feathers 🪶, but you’ll see that in the next videos.

That’s the beauty of bushcraft. 🌿 The skills are simple, made with nothing but natural materials and your own hands, but they change how you see the wild around you. Once you know them, you carry them for life.

All of this, and so much more, is what we do together in my courses. Come and join us out here. I’d love to see you. 🔥

How to build a 30,000-year-old weapon in under 30 seconds. 🎯

The atlatl is the spear-thrower our ancestors hunted with long before the bow existed. It turns your arm into a lever and sends a dart flying with serious power.

In our Bushcraft Course we build one from scratch, together, step by step. Wood, natural cordage, beeswax and a few feathers. No screws, no glue. Just the same materials and knowledge people have used for thousands of years.

This is the heart of bushcraft. Simple skills, made with your own hands and what the land gives you, that completely change how you see the wild. Once you know them, you carry them for life.

All of this and so much more is what we do together in my courses. Come and join us out here. I’d love to see you. 🔥

This is what bushcraft actually looks like. 🪓

On our last Bushcraft Course we went back to the oldest technologies humans ever had. Everyone built their own tools, with their own hands, from what the land gives us.

A knife with a blade knapped from stone, shaped by striking it with another stone, the way it was done for thousands of years. An axe, fixed with the right knots and lashing so wood and stone hold together as one piece. A woven sitting mat. And we worked with natural materials all along the way, like beeswax.

These are not souvenirs. They are skills. Once your hands know how to read a stone, tie a proper lashing and shape a tool, you carry that knowledge with you for the rest of your life.

That’s the heart of it. Not fighting nature, but understanding it well enough to live from it. You don’t arrive as an alien. You arrive as part of it.

Water changes everything about survival. 🌊

Next month at the Santa Clara dam, the biggest freshwater reservoir in southern Portugal, we’re running one of our favourite courses of the year: Lakeside Survival.

Everything you see here was built by hand, right at the water. Rafts from reeds and branches. Survival canoes from a tarp and a frame of sticks. Fishing spears, carved hooks and hand-woven nets. And yes, the fish got smoked over the fire afterwards.

What you’ll learn:

🛶 Raft building and two types of survival canoe
🎣 Primitive fishing hooks, spears and a Hawaiian sling
🕸 Weaving your own fishing nets
🌊 Salvage and water rescue, taught by an ex-lifeguard from the coastwatch
🌲 Nature awareness, the foundation of everything we do

No experience needed. Just bring your curiosity, and be ready to get wet.

📅 Next month, Santa Clara dam, Baixo Alentejo
🪶 Spots are limited, small groups only
