Ready to reconnect with nature and deepen your relationship with the wild?
Join us for a 3-day front country bushcamp immersion that blends hands-on wilderness skills, traditional knowledge, and personal discovery—culminating in a communal feast that honors the land, the animals, and the cycles that sustain us.
Led by Andrew Crawford-White of Backwoods Bushcraft and Andrea Fox of Elemental Journeys, explore what it means to "hunt", whether you are interested in the art of tracking, a photograph or an amateur hunter. There are no prerequisites—just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to engage in the full journey of wilderness awareness.
This is not a hunt—it’s a return. A journey through the sacred thresholds of “before” and “after,” where we learn to honor the animal not just in death, but in every step leading up to and beyond the harvest.

🏹 What You'll Learn:
- Animal behavior, tracking, and field signs
- Online & in-the-field scouting techniques

🌲 What Makes This Unique:
Unlike other hunting courses, Tracks & Hide offers a village-based, hands-on experience rooted in deep connection to land and lineage. We’ll explore not just the technical, but the spiritual and emotional dimensions of hunting—walking between the worlds of science, skill, and soul.
Whether you're preparing for your first hunt or seeking to enrich your current practice, this is a space to grow your confidence, build your skills, and remember the deeper why behind the harvest.

🗣 From Your Guides:
“To call oneself a hunter is a badge of honor. But that title carries responsibility—to be ethical, mindful, and deeply connected to the land and the life you take. This experience is about embodying that responsibility.”
— Andrew Crawford-White, Backwoods Bushcraft
“This isn’t just for hunters—it’s for anyone who wants to understand animal behavior, cultivate resilience, and reconnect with a way of life rooted in respect. These are the old ways, reawakened.”
— Andrea Fox, Elemental Journeys

You’re experienced but seek deeper connection, community, and ceremony
