Shake off winter with fun and fellowship in the woods!

Every April, we host our Spring Gathering. Four days of fun, fire, and learning in the woods of west-central Ohio. Workshops and presentations are offered from some of the top people in the fields of bushcraft, survival, homesteading, preparedness, and primitive skills. Outfit yourself with some of the best outdoors gear vendors out there. Put your knowledge and skills to the test with challenges for some awesome prizes, catch up with friends, or make new connections beside the communal fire. There’s a little something for everyone at the Spring Gathering!

“The Spring Gathering was one of the most laid back, yet action packed events I’ve ever attended! Had great instructors and awesome classes! It’s always amazing to see how many youth attend and how much fun they have getting their hands dirty learning outdoor skills!” - Daniel Harding

Send off Summer ‘Round the Fire!

Every October we hold a gathering in the woods of Logan County, Ohio for four days of fellowship, workshops, presentations, and challenges with plenty of axes, knives, and fire! Check out some of the best outdoor gear vendors you can find and outfit yourself for all the new skills you’ll learn from top outdoors instructors and experts in their field.

“The Central Ohio Outdoors Fall Gathering feels like… home. I’ve attended for at least 4 or 5 years now and it is always a highlight of the year for me. The Fall Gathering is a welcoming place to camp, learn new skills, hang out with old friends, make new friends, and pick up a few pieces of gear from the vendors. Caleb, the organizer, is all about making your experience as smooth as possible.” - Jayberry Miller, Owner & CEO of Tuff Possum Gear
