Top 5 Reasons You Can't Miss the Georgia Bushcraft Spring Campout
If you've been looking for the perfect reason to get outside this spring—this is it. The Georgia Bushcraft Spring Campout isn't just another weekend in the woods. It's a high-energy, hands-on, gear-filled, skill-stacked gathering of some of the best people you'll ever meet. Whether you're brand new to bushcraft or a seasoned woods wanderer, this event is a must.
Still on the fence? Here are the Top 5 reasons you can't miss the Georgia Bushcraft Spring Campout—even if you've never been before.
1. Gear, Gear, and More Gear
If you're into high-quality, purpose-built outdoor equipment, this place is like stepping into a backwoods wonderland. Some of the best gear manufacturers and sellers in the industry will be there, many of them showcasing USA-made products that are built to last.
You'll find everything from handcrafted knives and axes to packs, shelters, and fire-starting kits—gear you can actually put your hands on before buying. You won't just see gear—you'll learn how to use it from the people who made it. And let's be honest… you probably need one more knife anyway, right? Go see my friends at LT Wright Knives and Tuff Possum Gear, and tell them Craig sent you.
2. Skills Taught by the Best in the Business
Want to shoot slingshots like a pro? Make primitive tools from scratch? Or finally learn how to make a fire in the pouring rain if you had to? At the Spring Campout, you'll get hands-on instruction from top-notch instructors who travel in from all over the country.
From bushcraft basics to advanced wilderness skills, these folks live what they teach. You'll walk away with real, usable knowledge—not just Instagram moments. But hey, lets be honest, they make good moments for the "Gram" too. This is your chance to train directly with people who've made it their life's mission to pass these skills on
3. A Campfire Community Like No Other
Ranger TV, the Original Social Media, Bushcrafter's Netflix, call it what you want but there is plenty of campfire time. There's something great about sitting around a fire under a starry sky, trading stories, sharing knowledge, and just being in the moment. That's the heart of the Georgia Bushcraft community.
This isn't just an event—it's a gathering of kindred spirits. You'll meet veterans, families, homesteaders, survivalists, and curious newcomers alike. Everyone comes with something to share, and everyone leaves with something gained. The camaraderie built over a shared love of nature and self-reliance? You can't fake that.
4. Giveaways That'll Blow Your Mind
Did we mention the free stuff? Because—seriously—you won't believe the giveaways. Sponsors show up with big energy and even bigger prizes. We're talking high-end gear, handcrafted tools, and other top-tier swag you'll actually use.
The raffles, contests, and pop-up surprises add a layer of excitement that keeps the weekend buzzing. You might come for the skills—but don't be shocked if you head home with a brand-new piece of kit you didn't expect.
5. Great Food, Beautiful Setting, and Creature Comforts
Let's talk about the creature comforts. Yes, you're going to be outdoors—but the Georgia Bushcraft army of volunteers makes sure it's the kind of outdoors you want to stay in. Clean facilities, a beautiful natural setting, and food vendors make the weekend not just tolerable—but straight-up enjoyable.
Picture this: coffee in hand, the smell of bacon in the air, watching the sunrise over the Georgia pines. Whether you're watching a demo or relaxing with new friends, you'll love every second of just being there.
