Ambassador Craig Fordham

Bushcraft and Survival Expert

With a life-long love for the great outdoors inherited from scouting parents Craig is never happiest than when he’s in the woods teaching Bushcraft and Survival to children, adults and outdoor instructors.

Bushcraft Experience

His study and interest in friction fire lighting have earned him respect in the Bushcraft community and led him to run demos and lessons on the Craghoppers stand at The Bushcraft Show.

When not teaching or travelling he loves spending time volunteering at a Big Cat Sanctuary close to his home in Kent and studying new primitive and Bushcraft related skills. You might also find Craig in a canoe exploring lakes and rivers.
