That's my point really - if you're using the skills to do things now why's it re-enactment. If I make a spoon to eat my porridge it's just as valid now as it was then.
I fully agree Broch, I suppose my point is that I don't like the 'labels' and defining an activity as 'bushcraft' or 're-enactment' as there is sometimes overlap between these two activities (IMHO)
I could say it is similar to describing your journey to work as commuting or driving, same activity just with a different label/description and it is of no-ones concern but mine why I am driving and where I am driving to.
I think the question that should be asked is not 'bushcraft or re-enactment' but should be 'bushcraft or Ray Mears emulation' (in which case if someone wanted to spend lots of money to dress as Ray and walk about in the woods for an hour, of what concern is it to me?)
