Welcome to a.woodsman
Who is behind the a.woodsman name?
Adam Logan is a UK based bushcraft instructor with a passion for the Boreal landscapes of the world. A desire to teach from a place of authenticity has led to spending hundreds of nights camping out in sub zero forests relying on handcrafted clothing, shelter and equipment.
Collaborative work with other instructors, schools and organisations across Europe and Canada gives Adam a unique perspective to reflect on how bushcraft and wilderness journeys are conveyed, and enables him to relate to a diverse audience of students in meeting their learning desires and needs.
Adam draws on a twenty year career working in the UK bushcraft industry designing and delivering adult training courses and expeditions where his focus has been on accessing, modifying, and relying on natural materials and traditional processes of manufacturing utility items.
