The bushcraft show 2013

[Badger 73]

Hi guys , i was wondering if any of you are going to the show at Elvaston castle or may have been before , as i'm going this year for the first time and wondered if you recomend this one or the Gathering in august .(or both!) It would also be great to meet some of you if you're going . Daz .:D

[Silverback]

cant justify the expense Im afraid....for the same price as a ticket I can meet loads of times with NB folks even though Elvaston isnt too far away

[Ben Casey]

Is that the one that was in the Lakes if so no thanks :D

[butchthedog]

Price to high for me.

[Ben Casey]

If it is the one I think it is mate I will tell ypu about it next time I see you, I did have a thread on here somewhere about it I can't remember where tho :)

[butchthedog]

Pricewise, Greed/profiteering springs to mind.

Ok , not fans then :) thanks for the feedback . Dya reckon i'd be better of doing a course instead ? as a complete beginner back garden bushcrafter i guess i'm just trying to find places to see stuff in action in the flesh . Have the NB folks got anything planned in the spring ? ( if you don't mind me asking ) . Cheers .

Don't pay to go on a course. Stick around here, look at the YouTube videos, go to meets and, most important of all, get out there and try things for yourself. Why pay someone's inflated prices to learn what is available for free?

I have done the Wilderness gathering the past two years and in my opinion it just two commercial. First year I spent £700 on gear, last year £20 ish. You either look at stuff and wish you could get it or buy it all and regret spending too much.

I would go to the local meets and learn as much as possible from the guys there and also do some trades to get kit you need. It also gives you the chance to try kit out before spending your hard earned on something that doesn't suit your needs.
Like me £250 on a jervens bag that really isn't needed in this country when a bivvybag will suffice.

I tend to agree with Martin here. What's the old saying?: To hear is to know, to see is to believe, but to do is to be sure.

[Badger 73]

Cheers guys , are there ever any meets in the midlands area ?

[Dave ward]

I also have been looking at going to the bushcraft show for the 1st time this year and wanted to hear people's thoughts and now I know :) Id love to meet up with people off NB but not many people on here from Nottingham area. Nothing better than sharing ideas and having abit of banter round the fire

[happybonzo]

Good grief, at those prices the organisers must be on drugs
