About this event

Using a beautiful deer from a local gamekeeper, we demonstrate how to skin the animal and prepare the hide for tanning, butcher the animal and provide tips on cooking and preserving the meat. We also show you how to use the bones for tools and the sinew for string. At the end of the course we’ll cook up a delicious venison steak and you can tuck in!

The course is hosted within our small woodland in the Brecon Beacons. We lay on all the campfire tea and coffee you can drink and provide snacks. Please bring your own food (which you are welcome to cook over the fire) and your own tent and sleeping gear. Or you can rent our Baker Tent or Whelen Shelter or Log Cabin and sleeping bag for £50, if you prefer.

Experience includes:

  • Leave with the skills to be able to process an animal at home

  • All the tools and materials you'll need

  • Tea and coffee all day - bring your own lunch

Axe & Paddle Bushcraft began back in 2012, when husband and wife team Steven and Kirsty Le Say hosted a Spoon Carving Workshop in a friend’s garden.

  

We’ve just relocated and opened up our own studio, on an 8 acre smallholding in the Brecon Beacons National Park - where we now host a number of courses, teaching traditional skills and crafts. We also have Shepherds Hut accommodation and camping available.
