View Full Version : The (Wilderness) Gathering???
I know this has probably been asked before - but can we have a show of hand for who is attending Wilderness Gathering.
Neil
Mel and I will be there. I would say watch out for an Arran 5 Light - but I expect it will be seething with them.
Me and Stuart will be there trading as whatever Stuarts booked it as.
Can't decide whether to tent or basha this year. Gary, excellent I'll get to meet you and Leon has got a stove for you.

Looks like I will be there for the Friday and possibly the Saturday too. Had a request to bring a couple of bows :roll:
I'll be there with my brother in law Jim, he has a Malern Streak (big white patch) on the left side of his head. Spot him and I'll not be far away, oh yea I got a green snake on my right arm (tattoo from wrist to shoulder) and my BCUK badge sewn on my Snowsled pocket :wave:
Gary and/or Jack will you be taking any Swanndri Bush shirts with you 'cos I'll be looking to buy one.
We are planning to be there for the doors opening 1 o'clock Friday and staying to the end on Sunday. Sleeping under Bashas in the woods but taking a small tent as back up. :pack:
I'm looking forward to meeting all the folks from on here so don't be shy. :You_Rock_
i reckon i'll be there, dunno if it'll be tent or basha either :o):
note to self, must replace neil's/leon's bottle of single malt, and endevour not to drink too much! :super:
cheers, and.
Not going to be able to make this one :-( hope you all have a good time.... Make sure you get some good pics for those of us who can't make it.
Ed
Yep I'm going.
Basha for me and a Storm Shield tent for my friend. Not sure what to expect as I couldn't go to last years. Still haven't got my badge tho. Anybody got any ideas for anything that would be useful, or any stupid things that I shouldn't bring?
I'll be with another irritating kevin teenage type for the whole weekend, i'm sure we'll stand out becasuse we wont have a clue whats going on-seriously tho say hi if u're BCUK we don't bite!

Yep Ill be there with my son and a couple of friends, ill be in a hooped bivvi son is in a pop up bivvi tent, ill have a bcuk badge on my swanni (may not be wearing it if the heat wave ive ordered turns up) and ive got a big TAT of a scorpion on my right arm and an Acubra hat the same as Les Hiddings, grab me for a chat and a bevvi in me bivvi in the evening, looking forward to seeing y all :wave:
I'm toying with the idea of bimbling along for a day, but I probably won't lug the forging kit with me!
You'd make a fourtune selling firesteels ;-)
:-)
Ed
Roger probably wouldn't appreciate that on the day, all told...
Yep I'm going.

Will
Useful - Lagavullin 16yrs :super:
Stupid - Bell's :nono:
Looking forward to bumping into you all. Jacky and meself will be the ones without tatoos. :shock:
Traffic permitting, we should be there from Friday afternoon, staying till closing time (old habbits die hard).
While Jamie and I sit about all weekend taking a well earned rest, drinking tea! :naughty:
I can confirm that I have been witness to the above and they really are past masters of the art. I've never seen two people consume so much tea in such a short space of time, and still crack off enough jokes to have everyone rolling around laughing :o):
Thank Kelley for his kettle. :rolmao:
Hi guys, nice meeting you last weekend
I'm toying with the idea of bimbling along for a day, but I probably won't lug the forging kit with me!
Oh I don't see why not ... you don't have to take the Steinway too :o):
But if you did .. you could come up with some kind of piston that attached to a stationary bicycle to run the bellows and put Julian in the saddle ;)
I was unable to attend last years event and I’m wondering what to take for my sleeping arrangements.
Are most people in tents? Is the camping located in a wood with enough tree’s for hammocks etc?
:-)

Den, last time there were people all over, there is woodland, there are clearings in the woods, I think the Majority of people last year were in tents though :-)
Cars bust so I'm not going :cry:
Tony that's really bad luck.
Hope its not too serious

I'll bet we will get a lot new members here on the site after the gathering. :D
Hi, I made it down there on Sunday - cool show and a good chance to meet people who up until now were only names to me.
Definately inspired me to go further in search of bushcraft knowledge.
Big thank you to Cindy from the trading post, Gary from Bearclaw, jeremy from Islay birding for your time and for being so approachable when confronted by this dumb Canuk. :You_Rock_
I had a really enjoyable weekend, nice to meet up with a few of you, so to Chris, stuart, dan, Jamie, Jack, Gary, thanks very much for your company and conversation. To anyone there I missed,sorry, catch up with you in the future.
