Bushcraft and survival

Wednesday 10 December 2008, 18:00 to 19:30, Main Hall

Ray MearsRay Mears

Recognised throughout the world as an authority on bushcraft and survival, Ray Mears has become a household name through his many television series. ‘Merely a guide passing on his knowledge’ is how he describes himself.

He has a down to earth approach, an obvious love for his subject and empathy and respect for indigenous peoples and their cultures. Ray Mears believes that bushcraft liberates and empowers, re-acquainting man with nature and his roots, and teaches us to enjoy our own personal sense of wonder and discovery.

Ray Mears founded Woodlore, School of Wilderness Bushcraft in 1983, offering a programme of educational courses. He was conferred as an Honorary Graduate of Brookes in 2007.

Admission by ticket only.
