According to a 2016 CIPD report, stress is one of the leading causes of employee absence in the UK.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD)’s 2016 Absence Management survey reports the following:
April is Stress Awareness Month. Its purpose is to highlight the causes of stress, it’s effects, and share information on how to relieve stress.
So this month, we want to share with you some information about stress, and useful links to resources on how to relieve stress. In particular, we’ll focus on how being outdoors and in nature can help boost your wellbeing and lower stress.
The three key elements or ingredients needed to start a fire are heat, fuel and oxygen. This is known as the fire triangle.
You need all three elements of the fire triangle to come together in the right amounts and in the right way; in a chemical chain reaction that will start a fire.
This week we welcomed Year 3 pupils from Maes Yr Haul Primary School in Bridgend, who came to us for a unique school adventure.
In December, I received a message from a teacher from Maes-yr-Haul Primary School. They wanted to run some outdoor learning sessions based on a “mythical lands” theme. Super excited, I quickly called her back to discuss ideas.
We are excited to officially launch our new name, Bushcraft Adventures. And this website, which is our lovely new home.
We have listened to our customers’ feedback. We want to make it easy for you to know who we work with and what services we offer.
So we are bringing together all of our services under one roof with our new home – Bushcraft Adventures.
Our two hour bushcraft events for teens go a few steps further than our parties for younger kids, so you to explore bushcraft more.
See if you can beat your ancestors by trying to light a fire old-style… without matches! From flint and steels to ancient tools such as charcloths and crampballs, your challenge is to create a flaming tinder bundle – something your parents definitely won’t let you try at home. If you can master this, we’ll even let you loose with the bow drill method (aka rubbing two sticks together!)
