I wouldnt call myself a bushcrafter, i just enjoy getting out to the wild as i like the peace and quiet.
The comeptition was for 2 nights with as less kit as possible- i could of ditched the lighter for a knife and made a bow drill, but then i would have to find tinder after heavy rain ect. I always have a lighter and only have a knife if im going to camp- so for me its better learning with the lighter.
I wanted to test myself to see if i could do it and i did, i know they say about the lining in cans but they also say the ingredient in coke causes cancer and i still drink that.
I also could of left food at home but then i would have to carry my .22 or slingshot, ammo, a knife to skin game/make traps and i wanted to take the least amout of kit as possible
I enjoyed my time out, i have not been ill from the water or cans and i have learnt new skills, so i am happy
