By now you probably already have heard about what happened in Gottröra last weekend; finally we have a big international bushcraft festival in Sweden! We are happy to be able to announce that we are already planning for next years festival; the Bushcraftfestivalen 2017. Hope to see you in Gottröra Sweden the last weekend of August 2017, 25th-27th.
Need, wishes, dreams and ideas about a bigger bushcraft event in Sweden has been circling for some time now. Therefore it was a honor for me to last Fall (2015) gather a group of Swedish bushcraft personalities to start planning what we call; Bushcraftfestivalen (The Bushcraft Festival in Swedish).
Inspired by other international bushcraft events abroad we want to create the Swedish version of a including festival focusing on bushcraft, survival and forest culture. As many guests and participants was international the festival grounds were located close to the Arlanda airport at the rural community center of Gottröra. Bushcraftfestivalen is a field like outdoor weekend for the whole family with possibilities to sleep under the stars of the August night sky.
