Having just got back from the winter Moot I’m already planning what we can do this Summer at the main Bushmoot.
Talking to Tony and the team this years Moot looks to be one of the best ever.
There will be a number of new prebook courses not seen before.
The site has been remodelled by the Estate with addition camping spots added and a program of tree felling to open some areas.
There is now power to the toilets and the showers are super hot. The cesspit has been sorted so now more Pooh Corner.
I will be running a One Day Practical First Aid Course for folk that already have some first aid skills like EFAW but want to progress their skills to lead DoE etc.
We will also be doing a whole days camp fire cookery course. To take you from home cook to outdoor chef culminating in a 3 course banquet. We will cover the skills you will need to really take your cooking skills to the next level. Whether your s committed light weight back packer or a dedicated car camper. This course will be suitable for carnivores, vegetarians and vegans plus those that have other dietary needs.
Finally I’ll be running a day of projectile weapons.
This will be a full day of making practical First Nations and Neolithic weapons. From the Atlatl and Spear to the sling and javelin thrower. Plus the yo-yo and survival bow
Neil will be running a Fermentation and Cheese Workshop which sounds fascinating.
Also he will be doing a days wood processing course. Axe and Saw etc.
The one I’m really excited about is going to be his survival cross bow.
I’m sure there will be other courses as well for those that want some in depth tuition.
Having power improves our options for evening activities as well.
So start thinking about what you can offer in the way of workshops during the core days. These can be small group intro sessions. We are all learning every day and I’m amazed how many truly skilled folk
attend the Moot.
Im hoping Ed will organise a lock sport competition and blag a few prizes.
Don’t forget the Naughty Corners Theme this year is Star Wars.
