The Team

The Taste the Wild team are a group of people who are passionate about the outdoors and good food.  Independently we all share a love of the natural world and the wealth of knowledge and resources it provides. Together we have a range of skills including foraging, cooking, bushcraft, and ecology through to developement training, teambuilding and education.

Our lead instructor and founder of Taste the wild is Chris Bax.  Chris' two passions in life (apart from his wife Rose) are the outdoors and food. Chris has had a love of the outdoors from scouting as a boy to mountaineering and mountain travel in later years.  He has travelled widely and has experienced life with indigenous peoples around the globe.  His love of food led him into a career as a chef, but the outdoor life kept calling and inspired him to set up Taste the Wild where he could combine his interests and allow him to pass on his enthusiasm and knowledge to others.

In the few years since Taste the Wild began we have worked with many different groups, with ages ranging from 7 to 80 and backgrounds from merchant banking to herbalism. We have worked behind the scenes on popular TV shows and been advisors to newspapers and publishers.  Everyday we learn new things and will always endeavour to find new and exciting ways to teach and inspire people.
