    Some food for thought...

    Hi, Very nice thread OP, as you said, food for thought. Since I started practicing "bushcraft" I have often found myself thinking these same things, especially because where I live, not many people know about bushcraft. So being the only one interested in bushcraft among a company of...

    Out on Mount Hymettus (Athens)

    cbr6fs congrats on the photos. I live in the west side of the mountain and I usually take the trail to the top, that would be from Kareas, a general bearing of 70d East, but I avoid the trails, and "stalk" a bit, mostly because I want to have my dog without a leash, and avoid idiots with bad...

    Is there really any need for camoflage?

    Well its all relative. I think no one believes that army trousers are an odd thing to see in the woods. They are cheap, they have the side pockets, they are durable (yea right) etc etc, so very usefull for the outdoors. Same goes for other pieces of garment. Now a tactical vest filled with...

    Bushcraft v.s. Survival

    Survival by definition implies some sort of disaster or unforeseen factors. It is my belief that no one can really train for "survival". What good would it be to know how to light a fire in 3 different ways, if you have just crawled out of a crashed plane with all your bones broken. Or if you...

    Fear of the dark

    Nightfall always brings these kind of feelings to all creatures. Sometimes you can feel that even in an urban environment, let alone being alone in the woods. But these are part of our hunting instincts. All animals in the wild, sleep with their one eye open, or hunt during the night with the...
