Chris brings a lifetime of hands-on experience to Raven Bushcraft. Taught from a young age by his father — a skilled woodsman in his own right — Chris grew up immersed in the rhythms and realities of outdoor life. That early foundation developed into a deep, instinctive understanding of traditional bushcraft, from firelighting and shelter building to tool use and woodland lore.

With a calm presence and a passion for passing on knowledge, Chris now shares his skills as a bushcraft instructor, helping others reconnect with the land and learn the time-tested techniques that shaped his own journey.
