Bushcraft Log
The logbook app for your bushcraft practice. Record every session, every skill and every hour, out in the woods or back home, and build it into a clear record of how you learned what you know.
Who it's for
For anyone building their bushcraft skills
Most bushcraft courses and awards ask you to keep a logbook of your practice. Bushcraft Log makes that easy, and gives you a record you'll be proud to hand in.
Students
Working towards a bushcraft award or competency course? Log your hours against your goal, skill by skill, and see what's left to do.
Instructors and assistants
Keep track of the sessions you run or help with, who was there, and your own continuing practice. Each logbook is kept separate.
Practising for yourself
No course? Keep a journal of what you tried, what worked and what you'd change, and look back on how far you've come.

What it does
Everything your logbook needs
Quick notes and full entries
Jot a line or two in the field while you remember, then turn it into a full entry later.
A timer for your hours
Start the clock when you begin and it counts your session for you.
Hours towards your goal
Set your goal and watch the ring fill. Hours are shared fairly across the skills in each entry.
Talk instead of typing
Record a voice note with cold hands or a full kit bag, and type it up when you're back.
Photos and sketches
Add photos of your work and draw labelled diagrams right in the app.
Where you were
Note the place, the weather, your role and who was there, so your record tells the full story.
Skill study notes
Keep your own notes, words to know, safety points and things to practise for each skill.
Print or save as Word
A clean, readable logbook with a summary of hours by skill, ready to print, email or hand in.
More than one logbook
A separate logbook for each course or project, each with its own goal, skills and roles.

Good questions
About Bushcraft Log
Is Bushcraft Log free?
Yes, everything you need to keep your logbook is free. You can choose to support us, and supporters get a few extras as a thank-you, like colour themes, banner pictures and stickers.
Will my course accept it?
Bushcraft Log gives you a clear, well-organised record of your hours, skills and sessions, with your own write-ups, photos and diagrams. It's independent and not linked to any awarding body, so check with your course what your logbook needs to show.
Does it teach me bushcraft?
No. It's a logbook, not a course. It's there to record what you learn from your instructor and your own practice. For safety, always learn skills like knife work and fire lighting with a qualified instructor.
What if I lose my phone?
Your logbook is kept on your device, so make a backup file now and then. You can keep it wherever you like and use it to move your logbook to a new phone.
Can I print my logbook?
Yes. Print preview shows your logbook page by page, with a summary of hours by skill and role, and your sessions written up in full. Print it, or save it as a Word document or as pictures.
