Brumley Bushcraft: Shelter and Fire Photo Gallery

We’ll be honest, it might not have been the best week for fire making and shelter building 🙂 Campers did get some time to make debris huts early in the week, and many of the huts stayed dry in the rain (a great test of craftsmanship!). We didn’t get to all of our fire activities, […]
