Nordic Bushcraft arranges courses in Bushcraft, Survival and wilderness skills.

About Nordic Bushcraft
100 years ago about 80 % lived out in the countryside and their Bushcraft skills were common knowledge. Today 80 % live in the cities ad all the knowledge that we used to know is starting to disappear. But it’s not only the skills that are disappearing but also the close connection to nature that we once had.

Nordic Bushcaft wants people to get connected with nature again that we have lost. We want to do this by taking you out there and teach you the skills that you need to be comfortable out there. But also show you with very little can live in the wilderness in comfort by packing knowledge instead of lots of expensive equipment just like our ancestors did.

About me

My name is Johan Forsberg and I am the founder of Nordic Bushcraft.

I grew up in Sweden’s countryside and has since childhood been out discovering Sweden’s wonderful nature. Already as a kid I found nature as my home; the nature was only a playground for me then, but has since then become more and more valuable to me. I have spent much of my time in nature trying to learn as much as I can from it, and have done many mistakes, but I have learned a lot from these mistakes and can today show you how to avoid them. Since I have spent a lot of time outdoors I have acknowledged nature’s real value. My interest in nature and everything that lives and grows there has therefore increased.

A cold day full with snow and wind or a hot afternoon in springtime does not matter for me because nature is his second home and while nature evolves all the time and I adapt myself to nature instead of forcing nature to adapt to me. Despite all the knowledge I have about nature I still feel like a student in Mother Nature’s arms and are always looking for new knowledge and skills to learn. My inspiration to new knowledge I find in the Swedish nature and history, but also among our own Sami people who have for a long time lived close to nature.
In the future I hope that more people will learn the skills that can get them closer to nature and experience all the wonderful life and freedom in nature.

Work for us
We get a lot of people that wants to come and work for us. But normally we recruit people from our courses were we have the chance to get to learn people and see their skills. For us it’s more important that you have the right attitude and can teach, the Bushcraft and Survival skills we can teach you.
