Wild Boar at the Moot

[Tony]

This is a question just in case anyone knows what i'm on about

We think that there was a conversation at some point where someone said there was a possibility that they could get wild boar to the Moot this year.

Does this ring any bells with anyone?

Do they mean me? They surely do!!!

I've been out of the country for a few days so I've just caught this........I will look into this in detail now that the time is closer and report back soon......I've just got back now, and will reply to PM's on this over the next few days

Myself and a mate will be traveling down from the North West. Looking forward to it.

Has anyone got any tips on what to take, or things that we don't need that are provided? Also what is the crack with firewood when we are down there?

Thanks

Take whatever you would normally take for a camping holiday - there are no rules about having to live under a rock for the entire event. The majority of it will be a "skill sharing" or "social" event.
Please be advised that South Wales in mid summer can get to be like other places in mid winter - It will almost certainly rain while you are there, maybe two or three weeks worth if you are lucky!
Facilities on site include- toilets, showers and running water - sometimes the water will be hot enough for the showers, other times it wont be! The rest you should plan to bring with you or do without.

Firewood is scarce, generally it is harvested out of the woodland by the estate owners and we have to buy it back, by the tractor trailer-full. Then it is up to individuals to cut, chop and carry it back to their camps - so if you have room in your vehicle for a few bags of wood, it can make things a little easier. You might get lucky and find some fallen wood on site but it is getting to be a rarity.

Any other queries, please ask.

Been reading this thread for a while, and I am still none the wiser

Will I need to bring some apple sauce

Sorry, it is a bit obscure; you need to read through this thread to get the gist of it. http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=138432

Thanks for that. Sounds really interesting.

Taste buds have started dribbling already.

Has anyone done the risk assessment for introducing wild boar to a larper site?

I'm sorry to have to report that I'll not be able to arrange a boar for this year's moot, folks; I've tried everything and everybody to get one, but between kids on holiday and people being away and the older of the hunters refusal to shoot anything at all at this time of year, it's just not possible to arrange it.

I really thought I'd be able to source one from somebody doing a bit of pest control but not even that is happening at the moment

I don't know if or when I'll be able to get down for a few days to say hello to folk; I hope everybody will have a great time this year!

Just get a pig and spray it grey, nobody would notice the difference!

 

[Hammock_man]

so long as you don't get the spray paint from halfords !!!

Was thinking of using food dye...
