Great experience - we did the family essentials day with my 7 year old and had a great time. Don’t forget marshmallows

Great day with Graham working on axe skills. Great stories and individual support. Thank you!

I learned more than I imagined I could. Left feeling confident and excited to learn more. Built a shelter and a fire and slept in the open. Met great people. Completely decompressed city stress. Graham's knowledge is vast

I had a great weekend. I particularly enjoyed learning how to start a fire through various methods including magnifying glass or flint and steel. It was also useful to learn how to set up a hammock or a tarpaulin ridge line since I've never done either before. Graham, the instructor, shared a wealth of knowledge and anecdotes throughout, and it was great to spend some time with like-minded people in the woods.

Fantastic weekend away! Really enjoyed myself. As someone who had very little experience I wasn't overwhelmed. The activities (fire starting, making shelters, using the knives and working with wood, nature plant identifying walks and water purifying etc.) were well balanced with little breaks and downtime. Highly recommend. The free tea, coffee and tin of chocolate biscuits were much appreciated.

Another great training course with Polaris I totally recommend them

Spending the day with Graham at Polaris was an amazing experience. His expertise was evident, and he enthusiastically shared it during well-structured activities set in a breathtaking forest. I'm eager to participate in more courses offered by Polaris in the future.

A brilliant day out foraging with Graham, Natalie and the group. The day was not ‘just’ foraging - we learnt about the history of food, to identify various mushrooms and hedgerow plants and about the forest eco-system. I will never again think of a wood as just as trees or a path just as weeds. What an eye opener! Both Graham and Natalie are extremely knowledgeable and their passion for nature is infectious.The day was concluded by a taste tasting of various foraged foods including mushrooms and incredible chestnut biscuits. I’ve already recommended this experience to others and hope to be back at some point.

What an awesome experience for me and my 11yr old son. Graham was so knowledgeable and helped us to achieve so much. The rain really added to the experience too!

Graham is a true expert, whose breadth of knowledge is astounding. His anecdotes are funny and help to deliver the learning in a relaxed atmosphere. The woodlands are beautiful. I really felt that this weekend helped to root my book-based knowledge in practical foundations. As a result, I feel far more confident with bushcraft. Not only were the teaching and setting great, but I arrived late as a result of car troubles. Graham went out of his way to meet me and take me to camp 3 hours after the planned starting time, ensuring I got settled and knew the basics of camp life despite the late hour. I will definitely be doing more courses (including the family weekend if I can convince my screen-entranced children) with Graham in 2026, despite the long journey from my home in Devon. It was worth the epic trip and every penny!

Graham's expertise and the woodlands of Bayford made for a brilliant weekend. I learnt a lot on the Bushcraft course and enjoyed every minute. Would recommend.

I was shown a number of very useful skills there are essential for surviving out in the wilderness.
The instructor provided very good and detailed information about the techniques involved as well.

Had a brilliant day, even the rain didn't spoil the fun. Really interesting, detailed and clear instructions with plenty of hands-on opportunities to put the theory into practice. Learnt a lot and enjoyed every minute. Thanks!

I participated in the Level 3 Bushcraft course with Graham as my instructor. The program provided an excellent opportunity to develop bushcraft skills within the tranquil Hertfordshire woodland, creating a productive and supportive learning environment. Graham demonstrated extensive knowledge of the local landscape and imparted valuable insights, which I will continue to apply in my career development. I appreciate Graham's guidance and expertise throughout the course. I highly recommend Polaris Wilderness Adventure Ltd.

Very good instruction in a friendly and approachable manner. Lots of opportunities to practice and perfect techniques that had been taught, also personal feedback from Graham on things that I had picked up from books and YouTube that I wasn’t sure I had learned correctly.
It’d was also interesting that the students were a very wide age, experience and educational range. Was truly a course for anyone who has an curiosity about bushcraft.

Had a great day in the woods with this company
Covering all aspects of bushcraft very good demonstration and lots of information from the excellent leader of the course

Clear and practical guidance on fire making to use in a school environment. Came back with lots of ideas to translate into outdoor learning.

A really interesting day pottering around in beautiful woods looking at a huge array of native plants and trees. Graham & Natalie were very knowledgeable about the plants, roots and seeds in the woods and we ate our way through the day sampling many different things. The recipes and products to sample at the end of the day have inspired me to try more wild cooking.

Amazing day, thoroughly enjoyed it and was really informative. Will be coming back. Thanks again

Great location.
Fanastic tuition and facilities. Graham has a wealth of knowledge and was extremely personable and welcomed questions the entire day.
