Bushmoot

[Jeff283]

Hi I would really like to go to bushmoot this year but have never been and I am very new to this sort of thing, any advice would be greatly
appreciated on what sort of basic equipment I would need, can I camp for several days? Just a quick easy guide would be great.
Thanks in anticipation
Kind regards Jeff

A tent, Sleep mat, sleeping bag, some sort of stove, mess kit, KFS, first aid kit, decent knife Mora are good. A tarp is always useful to sit / cook under when it rains. Spare clothes/boots, Rucksack to carry it all in. Water is not a problem, there are several standpipes throughout the woods. Food, you can carry 3 or 4 days worth in with you. and there is a Tescos and Lidl just a few miles away.
Hope this helps.

All of what CK said plus a chair to sit on. The novelty of of sitting around on the floor soon wears off and life is so much nicer when viewed sitting in a comfy chair.

If you're car camping then basically bring anything you want to ensure your comfort.

For further information have a look at the Bushmoot section on the forum as a fair few folks have asked the same or similar questions to you.

Also check out the Bushmoot website for further info plus to get your tickets

Big tarp and small tent (got that the wrong way round first time)

Amen to that - whilst the Moot is set for a dry part of the year, please remember that it is Wales and one or two days are bound to rain - huddling inside a small tent or under a tiny tarp gets old real quick.

Think of it as a camping holiday with learning opportunities, rather than a strict "Bushcraft camp".
