As usual, there will be a Hitchgathering starting from <small>The overview over the beginning of August this year -- come hitch to a beautiful spot to meet a bunch of other funky people location proposals and all the info pertaining to hang out, play music, do workshops, cook on the fire and celebrate the hitchhiking way of life together! After a lengthy and slightly messy decision-making process, it was decided that this year's beautiful spot in question will can be found at La Framondié, France. As always, please subscribe to the [https:[Hitchgathering/2021/listsArchive]].riseup.netThe final information regarding the summer 2021 Hitchgatherings has been moved to [[Hitchgathering/www2021/infoArchive/hitch mailing listSummer] ]. '''Up to join the discussiondate information for gathering in 2021 is here.'''</small>
<small>The overview over We want to have a nice winter gathering this year! Here is a list of the other location different proposals there are. [[User:Swaden]] was thinking it would be nice to have a (pre-)gathering in Western/Central Europe and all another one in Norway for those who can. People could meet at the info pertaining primer to go to the decision-making process can be found at [[Hitchgathering/2021/Archive]]later together or to stay if they want to.</small>
=== Date ===If everyone is fine with that, dates are set as similarly to the other years. This means with '''pre-gatherings from the 23th December 2021''' and '''the main gathering(s) happening from the 30th December 2021 with the end being between the 6th and 13th of January'''. Dates are set only to have a common idea of beginning and ending but are certainly not strict.
The gathering ''' Voting to settle locations will be done on November 30th 2021 on Framapoll''' (once again, this doesn't mean we can't change stuff: this is "officialy" starting August 2nd 2021for ease of organisation). Some people will get there before Anyone is free to plan things up do a bit gathering at whichever date and some pregatherings will very probably happen before toolocation they want.
La Framondié is [https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/43.9890/2.5326 here]. It's a large area of forest in one of the least densely populated parts of France, and there's a collective of about 8-12 people living there. They do gardening and steward the forest, and for the future they are quite interested in offering more activities, camps for children, etc., so we might kind of be their guinea pigs :-)== Germany ===
As far as other orga things are concernedTob... I asked about ~50 people for ~2 weeks. If 100 people suddenly show up, I think it would be an issue. Camping would happen in a somewhat dispersed way -- to have mentioned a central camp and then camp spot in the forest around where you can find the space. There land is generally steepSignal group, but there are ancient terraces, and ithe's also possible invited to shape the terrain with a shovel add more here or to make it more amenable for camping. And of course hammocks will rule supreme remove this part :D There is plenty of firewood, plenty of wood for constructions, drinking water too. If we want to use their electricity and electrical amenities, we would probably donate some money; the same is also true for tools (saws, axes, shovels) -- we could decide if we want to bring some or perhaps they will also get some more tools for their future activities and we could support their purchase.
* Swimming! 20 minutes walking from the Tarn, a gorgeous swimmable river. There are also apparently waterfalls on the land that one can swim at.* Gorgeous place, legal camping, cool A few peoplealready had gatherings there.* The people living there are not at all worried about us bringing [[User:Swaden]] is messaging them Covid, or anything in regards to that.* Of course transphobia exists in France, but probably not and will add information on infrastructure once he know more than in most places.* If you remember them from your childhood, it's very close Anyone is also invited to where [https://www.maxitoysadd anything they know.lu/media/catalog/product/cache/fcf6fde2aecaa3a19404630833ab6e02/1/0/10940997-10940997-mt_picture1-64139.jpg Kaplas] were invented!
* There isn't really any space there to park cars if anybody wants to bring one. (But after all, it's Vienna has been mentioned twice on the hitchgathering... right?^^)* Since it's Signal group as a remote region, dumpsters are not very close.* They have quite a few dogs there already, so while not saying that no dogs should come, they were a bit scared by the thought that we 'are like them and 50 people would come with 50 dogs'possible location.

==== Next dumpsters: ? ==== === Organizing/Questions === A.P. on the mailing list proposed to ask questions to locals since someone they know lives nearby. Rom. will be there around mid-July. Also, [[User:Swaden]] will get there around June 10th to ask questions and possibly bring some stuff. So list here questions you'd want them to ask/setup : * What are the possibilities for dumpster diving? Where are the spots? Do we have to bring and buy food ?* Borrowing bicycles?* What are the busiest roads? General tips for getting there by hitchhiking* Is there cooking gear to borrow (or even a kitchen) ? Are there drinking water, toilets or even showers ?* How is electricity ? Do we receive cellular network and is there WiFi or Internet ?* Corona border situation from a local POV?* What is the locals language proficiency?* Where do we camp? Do we have to bring our own shelters ?* What about this 50 people limit? How flexible is it? Is there a backup plan nearby?* Do we need to bring tools?* How is the general infrastructure ? === Activities === Think about workshops you could organise! (It's very low-key.) So far, there are ideas about making circles about DIY gear-making and rounds of what-is-in-my-backpack, lockpicking workshops, herbal walks. At past gatherings there were many great workshops such as womens' circles, how-to for political marriages, clay oven building, capture-the-flag... etc pp. There will be games, music, dumpsterdiving, occasional skinnydipping. Massage circles and hopefully many, many workshops. Late-night joints and bottles of wine passed around, discussions on how to -- you know... ==== Knot workshop ==== I'll bring some sythetic ropes (also hanf three stranded rope) so we can all study together decorative and useful knots from beginner to more advanced. [[User:Swaden|Swaden]] ([[User talkCategory:Swaden|talkHitchgathering]]) === COVID-19 testing === [[UserCategory:Swaden]] will bring around 5 COVID-19 quick tests (they're free in Switzerland) to use in case for more anxiousHitchgathering/at-risk people or if someone starts having symptoms.[[User:Mrmagicmax2021]] will also bring some from Austria (if he doesn't have to use all of them on the way) == Pre or post gatherings == === Kesselberg, 2nd week of July === Anybody is always invited to the anarchist bastion and forest village of [https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/52.38086/13.73355 Kesselberg-upon-Berlin] anyway, but particularly in the 2nd week of July, hitchhikers are called to congr(e)ate there. It could be possible to join a potential pre-gathering at Langenwerder towards the end of July from there together, or move towards France already. === La Vieille Valette, end of July === [https://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/carte?c=4.095322876378653,44.27187141002011&z=16&l0=ORTHOIMAGERY.ORTHOPHOTOS::GEOPORTAIL:OGC:WMTS(1)&l1=GEOGRAPHICALGRIDSYSTEMS.MAPS.SCAN25TOUR.CV::GEOPORTAIL:OGC:WMTS(1)&permalink=yes Another anarchist village of unsurpassed charm and beauty in the Cevennes]. Would be very much worth making a stopover on the way to the Tarn. === European Rainbow in the Pyrenees, end of July/beginning of August === Some people might also like to meet at the European rainbow beforehand. Please add info here. === Other ideas ==={{IsIn|Earth}}<small>C. proposed Kesselberg, an anarchist bastion in a forest in Germany for a pregathering. He said there is a group called [https://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/ Ecotopia] doing a bike tour and that we could meet with them. Some people of the mailing list are part of the organisation so communication is easy. Like he said in his mail, I think it's a good idea to have pregatherings so people can met in smaller groups and have already a little bit of connivance before reaching the main gathering. Doing this is nice but we need to coordinate correctly. --[[User:Swaden|Swaden]] ([[User talk:Swaden{{IsIn|talk]]) 18:47, 24 March 2021 (CET) We can organize easily small pregatherings at the infinity of forest cabins available in Switzerland, Sweden or Norway.</small> == Promotion == Stickers are available, see the top of the page! == Online event == Some people have proposed the idea of conducting an online event for people not able to attend the gathering.-->Europe}}
