Our temporary sign is up at The Club at Holbrook!
We will be busy in December and January setting up some infrastructure in the woodland.
Holbrook House has extensive Security Cameras on their grounds, so hopefully we won’t be experiencing what we did at the Zeals Site. We are still a little saddened that the minority ruined it for all, at Zeals.
When life gives you lemons….
We will select a Survival Watch winner who just shares this post.
No fee…we will also pay postage to you!
No scam, nothing, just share this post…

#bunkerbushcraft has been pretty quiet recently. It’s because we are working very hard in the background. Here is a sneek peek at our new woodland at the Club at Holbrook.
A staggering 2300 species are known to be associated with oak, and that doesn’t include all of the fungi, and any of bacteria and other micro-organisms which use oak!
To describe our new green space…it is abundant with so many species of animal, fauna, trees and some protected Blue Bells!
Oaks - consist of 38 bird species, 229 bryophytes, 108 fungi, 1178 invertebrates, 716 lichens and 31 mammals. Of these species, 320 are only found on oak and a further 229 species are rarely found on species other than oak. These 549 species are the species identified as being most at risk if oak trees decline due pest, disease and/or climate change.
Good luck
Extremely pleased that we will be at Barrington Court NT on 29th Oct 2021.
Please come along and enjoy some family

We are looking forward to the next chapter for Bunker Bushcraft at The Club at Holbrook 👌🏼

How come you’ve moved sites Neil Anderson 'Bracey'
I look forward to seeing you mate and your new place of home 🥊🥊
Well done. Shame you've had to
Well done guys! Crap job
All set up at the Super Saturday in Yeovil. Pop and say hello if you are in the area.
Bunker Bushcraft Forest School is on the telly box on Tuesday at 5pm, Channel 4 😂
A new series starts on Monday, same time…If that narrator stitches me up, I’m suing!
Four in a bed starts on Monday. We are featured in episode 2 on Tuesday at 5pm. Not sure what to expect, as we have not seen it and the narrator can be pretty brutal!
We are demonstrating at the Oak Fair this weekend. Say hello if you see us!
Oak Fair this weekend. Say hello i
We will be at the Oak Fair this weekend…are you going?

I think I’ve posted this previously, it is pretty amazing though…If you saw this in on a bush or a tree, would you know that it was living? Meet the "Bagworm Caterpillar". It collects and saws little sticks to construct elaborate spiral log cabins to live in. These small creatures begin as moths. Once they hatch they immediately begin constructing elaborate shields for themselves for protection, often times looking like log cabins. They build their homes out of silk, sand, soil, and plant materials. If you look very closely, you can see the strands that it used to tie the structure together. Bagworm moths make their homes in many types of trees, especially cedar trees. Larvae crawl to nearby plants and their bags can be seen hanging on trees that they feed on. Some may spin a silk thread that catches the wind and carries them off to new trees. The natural world is filled with such wonder! 🐛 🙌🌎😍🌳
Wow, it's things like this that just confirm in my heart that there must be an intelligent creator! Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God - Hebrews 3:4
We have started to move our woodland infrastructure to The Club at Holbrook Manor. Please keep following us for further details.

Pleased to announce that it is confirmed that we will soon be at The Club at Holbrook.
Many thanks to all those that have liked and followed us so far. The journey continues…
Did you go to Crowd at the Cale? We'd love to see your photos, here's some of ours of the playday, community awards, and Skatepark Jam!
A big thank to everyone who came along and made it great community day.
A ginormous thank you to all our amazing volunteers who made the event happen.
A huge thank you to all our fabulous community stallholders, South Somerset District Council for putting on a great play day, Wincanton Silver Band for an amazing performance, Bunker Bushcraft Forest School, Cale Park Kitchen, our PCSOs, Make Space For Girls for helping us talk to teenage girls, and to Maverick Skateparks for a completely amazing Jam!
It is with regret that we are closing down Bunker Bushcraft at our site in Zeals.
There has been far too much vandalism and obstacles put in our way to make it work at this particular site. We just hope that someone else attempts to preserve the WW2 bunkers.
It’s not all bad news, we have been given a secure site in Wincanton that is also closer to home. We will soon be running sessions at holbrookhealthclub.com.
Onwards and upwards, we will be relocating over the next few months and be ready for taking bookings again very soon.
Many thanks to everyone who has liked and followed us so far.
Lots more details to follow!

After your workout or pamper session, you can indulge in a drink and a cream tea or afternoon tea at our endearing Brook Bar.Sorry to hear this, I'm glad you have an alternative. I hope the bunkers get some protection, if not just for the historical interest they hold.
Your effort is really appreciated. Thank you for making good things happen in our community. You are making a difference!! Thank you! 🤗
That's a shame. I have a voucher for 4 people would we be able to use when at new place?

Not in as abundance as early this year, but there are plenty of Dandelions around at the moment. Take time to harvest some and make some honey. It’s lush and you won’t regret making it...

Good to see you reopening soon and will be visiting you this year. Great post. I’d add one more note that all these things should be reciprocal, with businesses helping each other. 🙂
So glad you are opening!!! Good luck!
Good luck buddy, great to see you getting up and running your passion again!
A tree has fallen and killed one of our dog poop bins 😢 It has been cleaned up and please bear with us until the bin is replaced.
If you are walking through the woodland, please be aware of any potential deadfall, especially when it is windy/gusty.
The woodland is private land and we accept no responsibility for anyone using it that is not enrolled on one of our Bushcraft Sessions.
But did it make a sound? 🤔
Pleased to let people know that Zeals/Bunker Bushcraft will be featured on Channel 4 on 20th April 2021. The exact time will be confirmed soon.
I gave an account of the history of the Zeals Airfield and also made a fire with the programmes contestants.
I’m not sure what will be shown after editing, but the filming took place at the Bunkers in the woods in Zeals near Forge Lane.
Zeals and Bunker Bushcraft, as seen on channel 4!
More details to follow...

Lisa Riese falls du mal wieder eine längere Wanderung machen möchtest! 😎
Have you seen this...? www.nationalgeographic.org/projects/out-of-eden-walk/#section-0
Wow!
Stuck in lockdown? Ask the children to turn off their tech and all go on an indoor scavenger hunt. You can then also send them into the garden...
Great idea , jack attack is running round the house now
As the UK experiences a “proper winter”, let’s embrace the snow and ice and use it to make some beautiful decorations. A fun, easy, quick craft, that also teaches a tiny bit of science. Use a dish or container and add water, add some string, add a few natural decorations and leave overnight...Lets get the kids outdoors, give them a rest from all their Tech!
