  • Forest Fundementals

    Forest Fundamentals wasn't created by marketing focus groups in some boardroom. The idea was developed from Elvis' (company founder & owner) passion for the outdoors and his love of hand-making and hand-sourcing materials.

    As sales increased, and we started designing more complex products, hand-making and hand-sourcing materials were no longer feasible. However, Elvis was always keen to stay true to our roots and carry on handcrafting a few of our most popular original products.

    We are a small family-owned business operating in the heart of Wiltshire. Despite being relatively small, we continually innovate, challenging today's standard of modern outdoor bushcraft gear whilst respecting tradition. We are always striving to make our customer experience as good as possible.

    We understand that survival is not the primary reason for going to the woods on the weekend. We are all chasing the sense of freedom and calm the outdoors offers. This is why our products are not just built to keep you alive but to enhance and simplify your outdoor experience.

  • Shannon Berry Nature

    I’m a green woodworker... in all that I do! From tracing where the wood has been felled and selecting seasonal materials, to the very tools I use to create my bowls.My traditional self-built foot powered pole lathe allows me a deeper connection to the products I create. I value being a part of a large community that is open to all who are willing to learn and share knowledge.  

    Turning bowls to the sound of the wind in the trees and birds chirping, rather than the whir of an electric motor allows me to immerse myself in nature. I find myself happiest when I can feel fresh twirls of wood and grass under my feet.

  • Ben and Lois Orford

    Ben & Lois Orford make bushcraft knives, carving tools and leatherwork for all your outdoor adventures. Their main ethos is to encapsulate their passion for the outdoors in their heirloom quality products, sourcing only the very best materials to bring you tools and equipment that will not let you down.

    I make all the leatherwork here and love my creative space overlooking the beautiful Malvern Hills. I was brought up in a very urban environment but always hankered after the great outdoors and loved making things with my hands - my solution was to get involved in horticulture and create beautiful green pockets of life in my local environment.  Speed forward twenty years and I found myself on a green wood working course in the stunning county of Herefordshire, up until then completely unknown to me. I became addicted to the woodwork and the tools involved and started to make my own leather cases to keep my tools protected. As time progressed I found the leather work had drawn me in and I was truly hooked on its versatility, toughness and durability for outdoor use. Teaming up my skills with Bens was a perfect match and we’ve never looked back.
