9 Things You Can't Miss at Georgia Bushcraft
The Georgia Bushcraft Fall Gathering is less than a month away! It's a weekend jam-packed with expert-led classes, over 100 exhibitors, and fun for the whole family. You truly have to be there to experience everything the Gathering has to offer, but here's a quick preview featuring some old favorites and plenty of new stuff!
1. Almost 200 Classes & Workshop
All weekend long, you can visit a wide array of classes covering topics on bushcraft, self-reliance, and much more. These are led by knowledgeable and passionate experts, and we count ourselves fortunate to count this group amongst our friends. Check out the schedule HERE and be on the lookout for some instructor profiles in the coming weeks.
2. The 100+ Exhibitors, including these new exhibitors
No matter if you're looking to grab a custom knife, refill your survival kit, or get started building out your emergency supplies, the exhibitors and vendors at the Fall Gathering have what you need. With over one hundred exhibitors, you'll want to set aside plenty of time to check them out, and be sure to visit some of our new exhibitors making their first appearance at GABC. This includes Empire Wool and Canvas, Brunton Compasses, Castrom Knives of Sweden, Snowtrekker Tents, the Pathfinder School, and many more.
3. Raffles Friday, Saturday, & Sunday!
That's right, three days, three raffles. If you've ever been to the Gathering, you know our raffles are HUGE! As a matter of fact, they've gotten so big that we had to split them up, and this year that means there's a raffle every day. Grab your tickets, check out the prize table, and cross your fingers because each raffle includes thousands of dollars in prizes.
4. BattlRuck Challenge Saturday Morning
Our friends from Battlebox are bringing a whole new component to the Gathering. Join the Battlbox crew on Saturday morning for the BattlRuck Challenge. Test yourself, test your gear, and have a great time. Learn more and sign up HERE.
