NORTHERN WILDERNESS BUSHCRAFT CLUB

The main aim of our monthly Bushmoot is for us to be able to raise the funds to clean out any man made rubbish that has been dumped over the years. See our Bushmoot woodland is a reclaimed site that has been badly abused by mankind; the aim is to replace the rubbish with trees over time and create animal safe areas and wild camping sites. 

We even have FREE open weekends with wild camping with litter picks and work parties to help us with the site.

So each person that comes along for a full weekend, part of their money goes to buying a new tree, which could be a Scots Pine, Oak or any tree the site needs. To date we have removed over 20 tonne of rubbish from the site. So not only will you get an epic weekend and learn skills that would cost hundreds to learn but you are also helping us save a woodland and really make it an amazing place for our bushcraft community to come together and enjoy the outdoors, every time you visit it helps us create a fund to plant new trees, create a animal, bug or bee habbitat.

Join us each month as a member or none member for our monthly Bushcraft moot or as its known Bushmoot.

Our bushmoot start on the Friday with a small gathering at our fireside from 5pm but staff are on site from 11am if you wish to come down and setup, the FRiday is for campers only. 

On the Saturday from 11am we generally have talks on bushcraft, bushcraft activities and survival activities, show and tell on kit such as hammock setup or how to pack a bag and bushcraft related items, inventions or skill sets around the fireside or hikes through our land as we track the local wild life, wild edible walks, archery or history tours of the grounds. 

Each month is different and some months we have guest speakers during the day or on the evening but the evenings are generally kept aside for catching up, having a beer and Northern Wilderness staff will be cooking a group feast on the fire as part of what we offer, each months it’s a different campfire food from roasted meats and veg to Bush beans and chorizo with smoked sausage, maybe somerset cider chicken, 3 bean chillies or whatever we can create on our fire.

For none campers the moot starts at 11am till 5pm on the Saturday, we recomend ariving by 10.30am. For none members who are camping, you can arive on the Friday any time after 11am till 11am Sunday when the moot ends.
