Would you do an outdoor course with your partner? I’ve booked a week long course, and my wife is bitten by the nature bug now too. I think it would help when we have the kids with us in the woods, but also want time to get away from it all?

Hi Sarah, I’ve seen you out with your camera on previous courses, so my question is: if you’ve got one perfect shot to have printed up for your home, what would it be?

My twin daughters are five. They love walks in the park, feeding ducks, and looking at bugs in the garden with a magnifying glass, and roasting marshmallows on a fire. I am working on ways to help them explore and learn about the outdoors.

What are the best ways to introduce young girls to the outdoors and keep that interest moving forward? Are there specific things that should be done to encourage girls to explore the outdoors that differ from encouraging boys?

Hello! As a woman too, I have to take smaller axe, for example, to making woodcraft. Avoiding hand and arm get tired. Thinking of making a portage alone and my back already suffering. Did you ever live similar difficulties and how did you deal with it?

Thanks! :)

Hi Sarah,

I hope you’re well and enjoying the course season so far?

My question is:

When you first started out in bushcraft what were your goals for achieving skills and how does that differ to your present mind set today?

Many thanks & all the best

Andrew
