Beginner’s Bushcraft
Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Methylated Spirits

A non-exhaustive, non-instructive list of the fires that were lit on Beginner's Bushcraft 2025.

Keb and Heath take a hands off approach

 

 

Jessie, Kevin, Jackson and Anna spend more time building a wall than a fire

 

 

Sophie and team making smoke signals

 

 

Team work makes the dream work <3

 

 

All the gear and no idea (Max couldn’t get his flint and steel to work lol)

 

 

Nathan wins MVP for bringing the vibes and also a whole pork belly

 

 

Harry demonstrates advanced fire lighting technique (a litre of methylated spirits and a dream)

 

 

A watched pot… spontaneously combusts?

 

 

Obligatory marshmallow-roasting-bonfire
