    Thanks!

    Tim and Helen are both to be commended for the effort they put into to ensuring Kasia was able to experience the benefits of the Moot and the woodland environment without her disrupting the overall experience for the rest of the campers. Your 3am pancake run was appreciated by the rest of us...

    Hello

    Welcome. You will find we are all experts at doing very little so you should fit right in. The joy of winter camping is far fewer ticks.

    Anyone going to the Game Fair as well?

    I hadn't considered it. It will depend on what Tony has pencilled me in for. Mod duties or teaching workshops. There maybe a fair amount of logistics to help the new comers get settled into the new venue.

    Wifi Roaming

    I have been looking into wifi options for my van. Im considering an extended road trip to the more remote parts of Europe and beyond. I'm known for taking vehicles down tracks never designed for them. Wading rivers in a Corsa in Iceland and taking my estate car onto the ice roads in the...

    Wild in us festival. Anyone going.

    Doesn’t sound like something Forestknights would attend. Bushcraft is for us about being a part of nature not excluding yourself from it behind a wall of noise. It’s a good job we are not all the same.

    Who’s Going to the First Summer Moot at Rough Close?

    I can’t believe it’s only a couple of weeks away. I’m already getting excited planning Workshops and meeting up old friends that I just don’t see often enough. If you’re in doubt about taking the plunge the Bushmoot is one of the best Bushcraft gatherings in Europe and beyond. So who is coming?

    Stuff sacks.

    I have a huge amount of kit that’s lacking proper organisation. I need recommendations for a supplier of quality stuff sacks in various sizes. Ideally not costing the earth.
