I just came across this a week or so ago. I can't make it this year, but I wish I could. Gonna try for next year.

I'm interested, and been invited on insta, but it sure doesn't show much for classes/workshops yet. The two classes that are there so far are "add-on" you pay more for, are things I already know, and aren't really the kind of bushcraft skills I was hoping to learn more about, to be honest.

Only thing there right now about what they are offering themselves is a vid from past gathering(s). No mention of what bushcraft classes or workshops anywhere, at least that I could find.

Wondering what else they might have planned. . .

EDIT: Feb 14 - They have a nice list up now of instructors and classes for the weekend. Good variety of topics.

They have added the Mountain State Overland Experience. The film class looks interesting. I will have to keep this in mind.

Yeah, that's one of the only two I see there . . couldn't find any mention of other workshops, just the "Added On" classes of Filming Adventure and Route Planning (both of which, when combined, make up the "Moutain State Overland Experience" (sic). So far, at least that I could see, the only mention of anything else is "Instructional classes throughout the weekend (Final schedule will be updated prior to event.)" but no indication of what they are or if planned already.

Kinda confusing. I'm not going to plan on driving 1200 miles over a couple days each way without knowing what the instructional classes consist of or who is leading the workshops. It's still seven weeks or so away, but hard to plan without knowing.

EDIT 02/14: They have a nice Instructor and Class List up now. . . looks great.

I think i'll pass. Seems like a lot of money without much commitment and details by the organizers for classes that have yet to be setup.

GeorgiaBushcraft on insta said last night "Stay tuned for our updated instructor and class list coming up early this week!"

Hope so. If a trip involves dedicated time somewhere--like at a workshop or expo or trade show--I typically plan for them at least 6-8 weeks in advance. Odd they would put so much marketing out there for the last several weeks without some sort of list, even of typical classes and workshops.

EDIT, 02/14: They have a nice Instructor and Class List up now. . . looks great.
