Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
well, I'm going to be there this year. My first time! 
Unfortunately because of the no dog policy I won't have my fabulous furry assistant (which is going to be tricky organising a dog sitter, so i may not make it for the full time)

I can't believe you are not coming this year spencer, I was gonna bring another litre and a half bottle of Jack Daniels to get you singing (snoring in the rain) again!
due you reckon that i willl need a mosquito net to go with my hammock and tarp and also would you advise that i bring a kelly kettle or a proper gas stove due to the fact that i am thinking about buying one pr the other.
personally i like the kelly kettle and think the kettle is a more equo friendly way to do your cooking.

I reckon that a mozzie net is a good idea. The smoke from the fires will most likely keep the bugs away but once people are asleep and the fires have died down, the bugs will come out to play. Better be on the safe side
There's a few questions about the Moot on here so here's the link about it:
Summer BushMoot 2008 information
There's some comments from people at the end of this article: BushMoot 2008
Most questions have been answered in the articles.
The event is fine for everyone, babies upward, it's more a case of you being comfortable camping out with a baby.
generally there's not a lot of bugs on the site, I'm not sure that i've ever had a Mozzy bit and I think that i'm the only one that's ever had a horse fly bite and this will be the 7th time i've camped on the site.
the site itself is plenty big enough for camping, there's space enough to pitch up with friends or find yourself a nice quite area away from everyone else.
I'll get some more info up on what's going on but so far we've got a good list of people giving up their time some of the activities are:
Foraging
Cooking
Fire skills
Axe work
Chainsaw Demo
Forging Demo
Sharpening
Bush medicine - naturopath
Bush Medicine - just for women
Tracking
Blanket Bushshirts
Flintknapping
Sustainable Wild Food talk Q&A's
Story telling
Snares and Traps
Knife use
Kids workshops (one or two a day)
Mors Kochanski - Doing his thing
Native Indian skills and beliefs
bead making
hangi/group meal
and much more
It will be god to see people there. remember that we're limiting places this year so that it stays a great event

Yeah, i've got to give this one a miss this year i'm afraid, mind you, my kidneys and liver remember last year and your catering pack of JD and they are thanking the lord that i can't! :yikes:
well, I'm going to be there this year. My first time!
Unfortunately because of the no dog policy I won't have my fabulous furry assistant
Right this is getting daft, now i'm gonna miss Dave Budd as well! Seriously, It's a pity that your 'furry assistant' (Is it a dog or a metaphor?) cannot make it Dave as those dunes will tire him/her out in no time. Cannot think of an alternative either mate. I know i like taking my two out when bushcrafting, it would'nt be the same without them.
My first grandson, Jacob will be coming down for a day, he'll be five months old then; he went on rusks at nine weeks, so by then I expect the lad will be chewing pemmican
This was at six weeks, but he'll grow into the hat
Proud grand dad piccie
I've had a dig around and can't find the answer, sooo....
Is there a minimum age limit for unaccompanied minors(?) at the Bushmoot ?
cheers

Not a metaphor, he really is a dog
He's even the right type of dog to fit in with the whole Iron Age forge setup when I'm in full kit! He would've loved to come and would mostly sit there and look pretty (I just have to take him somewhere for a run a few times a day), he loves the attention. But, rules is rules 
My faithful hound will be with me at other shows, so maybe you'll catch us eleswhere Jed
