here's a link to the site

edit: site as in place where it all will take place. I know a link always points to a site. It's so dumb I can't believe I'm typing it.
I blame it on my upcoming exams!

I'd be interested in going. I am new to this site - and also to bushcraft in general. I live in Bruxelles.

 

[bartjeuh200]

welcome to the site!
Be sure to keep an eye on this thread as within a week or so the 'bushcraftgathering-site" will be online and "more info will be revealed to you" *mysterious music starts to play*

Rob Hofman en Marc Smeehuijzen from bushcraftweekend.nl are also coming and they are giving workshops too!
Bowdrill and shelter buiding respectively.

[Nick123]

I'd like to come as well.

Pm to Bart

Nick

 

[bartjeuh200]

you're welcome to come!
Visit http://www.bushcraftgathering.be for more info
I already have about 30 people who are coming . So it looks like we're going to have a proper first meeting then!

 

[bartjeuh200]

Just some more info:
-admission fee of 2 euro
-workshops are free of charge, except "groundoven"
-For that workshop i have to ask to give a contribution, depending on how many are willing to do this one.
-More info on the site itself after 31th of January
-Definite list of workshops + schedule: Definitely before 30th of February

I got, not counting the people on this board who'd said they'd come, about 25 other people coming. So I guess we should be abled to reach my 50+ attenders goal

 

[arnoldus]

Good idea. Are absolute beginners such as myself welcome ?

 

[bartjeuh200]

They certainly are!

Is this gathering still happening?

 

[Nick123]

I hope so....

 

[bartjeuh200]

I'll probably make it. I'll take a tent. far easier than a tarp in this case.
I'll take a few knives with me. Will firelighting be included? I'd like to learn fire by friction. I only got it to work once.

Best regards,

Michiel

Has anybody been to this site before or recently for a recce?

Is it ok for hammocks and tarps? Is it better to bring a tent? Is there any fresh water on site?
