Autumn bushmoot questions

[Greenbeard]

Hi there, I've got my holiday cleared with work and booked a ticket for the Autumn bushmoot, well excited! Now down to packing. Ive never been to a bushmoot so I've got a few questions regarding the guidelines. Do you need to bring your own wood for your fires? And do they need to be in a firebox? I've got some nice hardwood billets that are about 5' long. Also do you unload your vehicle in the car park on the map, or can you drop kit of at your pitch then park up? This will determine if I bring my Dutch oven haha. Thanks a lot for organising this by the way, didn't get to go to the summer moot due to work commitments. Any road, looking forward to this trip!

Usually you can forage for wood or there's some provided.

You can park up, wheelbarrows for use. Fires can be open, but you'll burn less if you use a box.

Best to check in first, but if you're late, find a pitch and check in next day.

Hey Greenbeard, it'll be good to have you.
You should be able to get anything you need to your camp via car or wheelbarrow which we'll provide. Getting your dutch oven in will be fine!
We'll have some wood there but If you can bring some then do, I always take wood for my first few days just to be on the safe side. As long as people are considerate we can have fires on the ground.

This is a new event, we've not done an Autumn Moot before so it will evolve over time, for this year we're planning a relaxed event, nothing scheduled or planned, just that craft theme for anyone that wants to take the opportunity to practice stuff.

any other questions ask away!

Hi, Thanks for the replies. That sounds Great! I'll bring some wood with me then, I was thinking about bringing a smoker I've made and was wanting to try out a small hangi pit so didn't want to be cheeky with using up site wood ect. See you there

 

[Tony]

Yeah, bring the smoker! and we can try a little hangi, it's hard work in the sandy ground though, the heat leaches away fast, we could do a small one though rather than the ones we used do at the Summer Moot which were huge!

Great stuff, I'll bring my shovel then

Hi all, I'm no going to come down as it's a) too far
And b) went in and out of hospital yesterday and got myself a new hip and will be out of action for a couple of months.
So I'm having to ask a favour of anyone going with a camera. Since it's a crafty theme, I'd be interested in others like my self who have picked up carving wood spirits? Shoot as many of carvings and carvers and email them to me? Pretty please? Email, WhatsApp or whatever else? Many thanks in advance guys!!!!

ha ha, I was hoping there would be someone there that can show me how to carve one, maybe I'll take a book and work form that if there's no one about...

I'm going to look at a few places closer to you so that we can do a few more mini moots, so maybe we will come to you

I can already clearly see this working
