Josh has spent his life trying to connect with nature and be a part of the natural landscape rather than just a tourist in it.

This has led him to attempt to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors and for the last four years he has been teaching himself Primitive skills such as;

flintknapping, natural cordage making, wild foraging, carving, butchery and hide tanning.
