We live in interesting times and households the land over are looking at their monthly consumption and trying to figure out ways to reduce the outgoing. I'm assuming that this includes bushcrafters and that you don't all live under tarps or in badger sets or squat beneath bushes in your hermit loin clothes. I'll take it as read that when I use phrases like dish washer and central heating and tinned food, you'll get the gist! ;-)
So, a simple question: what ways, if any, have you found to utilise your bushcraft skills to help provide for yourself, your home and your family?
I'm not suggesting that in order to save on the heating bill, you moved everyone out into the garden where you now live in lean-to shelters, drinking rain water and subsisting on starlings cooked on an open fire. Just small things, perhaps, or novel ways that you've found to apply your skills in other areas, like making do and mending rather than buying new stuff.
