BushcraftUK Bushmoots
A great place to meet fellow Bushcrafters & learn new skillsBushmoots are get together events run by the BushcraftUK Community. Summer Bushmoots typically go on for nearly a week and are at a stunning location in Merthyr Mawr, South-Wales, UK. The events are essentially free; you only need to pay a small amount of rent to cover the hiring of the beautiful forest venue. You can come along for just a day or two or stay the whole week!
Many people attend and professional survival instructors and expert-outdoorsmen give their time freely to provide superb classes which are free for you to attend. You can learn everything from how to put up your tarp a dozen different ways, knots, bow making, fire craft, tracking, flint-knapping, all sorts!
More about the beautiful venue; The estate has an incredibly varied mixture of terrain with:
300 acres of forest including broad leaf coppice and ancient woodland
5 square kilometres of sand dunes (the second largest and highest in
4.5 kilometres of coastline (with the second largest tidal change in the world)
6 kilometres of river
An estuary
3 natural springs
2 castles
Numerous streams and ponds
The outstanding diversity of flora and fauna on this site has earned it no less than five designations.

You can find more information about the Bushmoots here. In my opinion BushcraftUK is the number one Bushcraft Community, offering a wealth of knowledge, kindness & generosity BushcraftUK currently consists of around 8,000 members. You can search the forums finding answers to your every question, its like a immense database; a wealth of knowledge and friendly folk are always willing to answer new questions or give advice. Its a warm and welcoming environment both online at the Virtual-Campfire and at the Bushmoots. Within the community you can even learn to make new things like kit, or swap kit with others, join in on group-buys receiving discount and many other benefits. Its defiantly a great place to be.
