Thanks John - glad you liked it.

Hi all Just finished the 20th anniversary Bushmoot video - hope you like it - if you do, please share it on social media if you can (Facebook and alike suppress You Tube videos so not many people see them).

There you go John

Finally got the summer 2023 Bushmoot video pulled together - hope you enjoy it folks

Also came across on the Woodland Ways blog a Rope Spinner - made out of a stick - worked a treat and made rope from twine really fast. Will look to do another video about it soon.

Sounds a plan sir :-)

Been moving things on with a little jig for rope making :)

Cheers John - these things were helpful in making rope from lots of materials. You would have had one person twisting and one person feeding material onto the line - have you experimented with this? Maybe one for the Moot mate :) This article describes doing this.

It was great seeing this beauty coming together - created by Rob and Wayne

Some great memories from Wintermoot 2023

This is hard for me to chat about - maybe because of the culture I was brought up in where you were just expected to get on with things and if you were suffering with any sort of mental health issue and discussed it you were in the main avoided. Working in the outdoor industry and having been...

John - John :-) Next time I will walk you down for dinner in the evenings

It was indeed - built by Karl Elliott - along with Wayne and Beth of Forestknights

Not long back from a damp, drafty but great Wintermoot and put this short video together for you

Hi all Due to requiring a new laptop to handle the latest video editing software updates my Summer Bushmoot videos have been a bit delayed. Made four this year. Finally I have made a playlist of all the Bushmoot videos I have uploaded into YouTube since 2014 - 26 in all. I am glad I...

Dates are in the diary - so fingers crossed
