Building Skills: A Waxed Canvas & Bushcraft Learning Bundle

One of the things I love most about the outdoors is how it invites us to slow down, use our hands, and remember that learning can be fun.

This limited edition bundle was created to encourage exactly that.

By pairing Craig Caudill’s deep knowledge of traditional bushcraft with a hands-on introduction to working with waxed canvas, this set gives you everything you need to try something new and build a piece of gear you will actually use.

This is not about perfection. It is about curiosity, skill building, and enjoying the process.

What This Bundle Is About

At its heart, this bundle is an introduction:

• An introduction to traditional bushcraft skills

• An introduction to working with waxed canvas and making a tripod seat

• And an invitation to learn by doing

Craig’s book, Traditional Bushcraft, guides readers through a progression of hands-on wilderness projects, from foundational tools and simple camp implements to more advanced builds like benches, tables, ovens, and furniture crafted from natural materials.

The projects move from basic to more advanced, helping develop practical skills, creative problem solving, and confidence using materials gathered from the woods. The instruction emphasizes traditional techniques, thoughtful material selection, and building useful camp items with simple tools.

My guide picks up alongside that work, offering a practical introduction to sewing and building with waxed canvas, a material long trusted in outdoor gear. Using the tripod seat as the learning project, it walks through cutting, stitching, and caring for the material in a way that feels approachable and achievable.

Together, they create a natural next step for anyone who enjoys learning skills outdoors.

What’s Included

Each limited bundle includes:

• Autographed copy of Traditional Bushcraft by Craig Caudill
  Personally signed by Craig

• Access to the Nature Reliance online bushcraft course
  Included with the book and provided by Nature Reliance

• Printed PNWBUSHCRAFT Instruction Guide
  A small, field friendly manual that serves as:

  • An introduction to working with waxed canvas

  • A guide to cutting, sewing, and caring for the material

  • A tripod seat project that helps build confidence using waxed canvas

• Waxed Canvas Material (10.1 oz 18” × 56”)

  • Enough fabric to complete the tripod seat (Either Green or Tan)

  • With extra material left over to experiment, practice, or create additional small items

How the Two Guides Work Together

Craig’s book teaches the traditional bushcraft side of the project, crafting the wooden tripod legs from natural materials using simple, time tested techniques. The book also offers a wide range of projects that grow in complexity as your skills grow.

The PNWBUSHCRAFT guide focuses on constructing the waxed canvas seat itself. It introduces the material, walks through cutting and sewing, and shares tips for care and long term use.

The tripod seat is the shared project, but the larger goal is building skills that carry forward into many more projects, both in the woods and in your workshop.

Who This Bundle Is For

This bundle is for:

• People who enjoy learning by doing

• Folks who want to build useful camp gear with their own hands

• Anyone curious about waxed canvas but unsure where to start

• Bushcrafters, campers, and outdoor learners who value process over perfection

You do not need advanced sewing skills, just a willingness to try.

Limited Edition Details

This is a one time collaboration limited to 20 bundles, created to keep the experience personal, hands on, and intentional.

A Final Note

This bundle was created with the belief that skills are meant to be shared, materials are meant to be used, and learning becomes more meaningful when we take the time to build something with our own hands
