## What is Bushcraft & Survival Skills?

Knowledge is power, contained within the pages of each issue you will find a wealth of articles written by experts, taking you on a 'bushcraft adventure' even when you can't get to the woods! 

Bushcraft Magazine is a valuable resource; enhancing your existing knowledge, teaching new skills, answering questions, and keeping you up to date with courses and equipment suited to bushcraft use. There are Regular and Feature Articles on subjects such as Tracking, Canoeing, Knives & Axes, Foraging for Wild Foods, Camp Skills, Fire Lighting, Navigation, Knots, First-aid and Surviving in the Wild, alongside 'How to...' articles, and our ‘Bushcraft on a Budget’ series, both showing readers how to make their own kit, and, projects that use natures resources. 

There are Book, Course and Kit Reviews to help you select and buy wisely. The News and relevant adverts detail what’s happening and where to go for training and kit. 

Interest in bushcraft is at an all time high, its profile being raised by the popularity of programs from the likes of Ray Mears, Bear Grylls, Les Stroud, Mykel Hawke and Cody Lundin. All of whom we work with and feature in the magazine.

### 1/5 — Just an ad for a magazine, not an app

*2022-08-08*

It’s not an app, but an ad

### 1/5 — Still waiting

*2020-09-03*

Still waiting for issue 86,no problems with the previous issues but I’ve been waiting for the latest,it’s just cost them another years subscription as I’ve cancelled it

Something for everyone, really practical and useful stuff.

### 5/5 — Fab Magazine

*2015-05-23*

Don't really go in for reviews although I read a lot so though I would go for it. This Magazine is fantastic, quality of articles, material is second to none. The reviews of kit and all the articles are relevant and a must for people who love the outdoors and the best publication for Bushcraft I have come across. Having it sat on my IPhone 6 Plus means I can access it anywhere I want to is just the icing on the cake. I have bought a lot of the back issues now because as a Magazine it's fab but also as a reference book. Well done and Thank You !!!

### 5/5 — The best bushcraft mag out there!

*2014-12-17*

There isn't a lot of stuff out there at the moment for bushcraft yet, but this mag is years ahead in its content and articles. Great read that I always look fwd to receiving. Will be renewing my sub for sure!

### 1/5 — Poor support

*2014-12-05*

The issues content descriptions do not align with the issue itself. I contacted the publisher to rectify the issue and have had zero resolve. Will not purchase another issue.
