Once upon a time, there was a man known as the Bushcraftman. He loved teaching children how to survive in the wild. One sunny morning, he decided to teach them how to make damper bread. The children were excited to learn something new.

The Bushcraftman's Plan

Next, the Bushcraftman led the children into the forest. They looked for hazel trees and found some good sticks. 'We need to take some bark off these sticks,' he said. The children carefully peeled the bark away.

Finding Hazel Sticks
