Pinky and I are very keen to get outside a lot more this year having done a bushcraft taster weekend at the end of January.
We've done a little lightweight camping previously, but to be honest, we relate much more closely to the bushcraft 'ethos'.
That said, we want to be able to carry our 'home' on our backs and while loads of things I see on here seem brilliant for base camping and appeal hugely (dutch ovens, grills/tripods etc - I love cooking), the idea of carrying many kgs is somewhat offputting!
What are the best bits of bushcraft kit that can be easily reduced, so you have maximum efficiency and comfort for minimum weight?
How well do you think 'lightweight' and 'bushcraft' go together?
If you're taking heavy gear, do you travel by car to a site and if so, what do you do about parking?
