Well said Joe. And I completely agree. I always said that Bushcraft was being able to thrive in the wild. Be it for a day hike, to an overnight camp and beyond. It is the skills used to thrive and be comfortable in the wild.
For 1985 I am in frorest and wood alone, fom childhood to this day's. I think nature's is in you're heart. My philosophy is river, forest and mountain. Buschraft is modeled in sociology of globalisation network. That's why we masterpiece of forest never stop riding and riding in book of life. Beautiful books. Best regards from Serbia and my family.
Hello Ida and Joe I hope you are doing well too. Those are very interesting books. I only know Lars Felt's. I already have a few more days under my belt and my source of knowledge in the beginning were the books by "SirVival" Rüdiger Nehberg (RIP). After that came the books by Mors Kochanski (RIP) Dave Canterbury, Cody Lundin, Ray Mears, etc. Books from Kosmos Verlag about edible plants, tree identification, weather (very important for us in the Alps), navigation, first aid, etc. The thirst for knowledge is never breastfed.
Joe, thank you. I found that really helpful to understand some of the wider context and the back ground to the use of language. Top man. Top of the morning to you
Joe my bible if you will has always been Bill Reviere's The Camper's Bible which I rcv'd as a young Boy Scout several decades ago. While not averse to using such implements as a propane lantern or stove; it contains most of the woodcraft you mentioned. I also have a copy of Dave Cantebury's Bushcraft 101 which takes it to the next level for me. Happy new year bud! BTW- where in Ireland do you hail from? My family all came from Wexford obviously being a Doyle. Keep up the good work!
I grew up on there being three levels to the outdoors life, Surviving, thriving, living. One of my O.P. teachers at school referred to Survival as "The ancient and noble art of NOT BLOODY DYING!", accompanied by a huge grin but he was right imho. Survival, being able to not get dead. Thriving, doing a lot better than just huddling in a ditch (Bushcraft imho) And living, Now your hiker who takes a wee collapsible sink bowl along is a L2 fella, it's good for foraging, food prep, washing up/shaving etc. But yer man who takes an aquarium bubbler to plug into his usb bank, that's level three :-D Warm footspa on the fells after a good day? Now THAT'S living marra 👍
That was a very interesting video, and a description of the word "bushcraft" in its very widest sense. Unfortunately, in the modern world of UA-cam and other media, the concept of "bushcraft" has become a bit distorted (in my opinion) and has taken on an almost cult association. What I mean is that the terms, words, concepts, skills and tools associated with this, have evolved into an almost inflexible set of "rules" or norms which seem to be quite exclusive, about what is acceptable or not acceptable as being the "right" way. This is unfortunate. For example - there seems to be an acceptance within the ranks that the only acceptable "bushcraft type of knife" is one with a Scandi grind. Another is that claiming a lighter as an acceptable way of lighting a fire, is at the very least frowned upon, if not rejected, but it might be tolerated at best. Some are more adamant than others, but it seems very restrictive and limiting. It's almost as if the movement has taken on the persona of a competition or hobby for enthusiasts. When I was very young and a Boy Scout, we called a knife that we used a Scout Knife. Virtually every kid had a different shape, size, design or weight! I think your splitting primitive skills and more modern skills helped me sort this out in my mind, so thanks for that. I'm still not at all clear in my mind about all the complexities involved in such a wide and diverse field, so I'll follow your channel to learn more. I just find it sad about all the exclusions and restrictions that complicate matters further. Cheers mate.
Totally agree. We all need to stop labelling what we do and just get outside and learn the skills to enjoy that time.
Amen 🙏
