wilderness gathering in wiltshire at the bison farm.for the last few years there has been a bushcraft meet at the bison farm not 5 miles from my house,each yar it has got steadilly bigger and this year was a sucsess acording to the organisers,we went on saturday and were so impressed we went again today!! there was masses of stalls all with craftesmen all too willing to show 'how its done'! everything from fire making to blacksmiths to didgerydoo makers and workshop. We meet a lot of folks from the bushcraft forums and jacksshed and made some new friends too! we are gonna have a stall next year hopefully and spend the whole weekend there.
heres some pics of the stalls,the charachters and all manner of bushcraft stuff:
a great vid of a blindfolded firemaker!

Did you buy anything or were you too busy sizing up the bison for another day
Nice broadhead on the bow should do it and a 4x4 with a winch 
Seriously looks like a good day out I saw it before when you mentioned it and even looked it up but then it went straight out of my mind pity really but I am a bit skint so just as well as I would have spent money and got nagged.

Dead right there, mate, it's outdoor porn! I've been to most of them and this year was definitely the best (and biggest), although there were a few of the better trade stands missing and Forest Knights weren't there with their field archery course in the woods.
My only concern is that it doesn't get too big and too commercial like a lot of the gamefairs have, and end up selling tat like garden furniture etc.

I am booking a stall for next year selling tissues and underpants as after reading these posts I think I will do quite well.
And also a little something for the ladies

Good shout Mr P, I reckon that you'd clean-up. Remember the latex gloves, though.
