A stolen quote that sums up bushcraft to me

[jackcbr]

I won't lie to you, it's not been easy. But at the end of the day, when you see what you've achieved it makes you want to come out and do it again,
and again,
and again.

I found a simple old Eskimo saying in a book I was reading that rang true with me.

"A man should do all things properly"

I have one too that you cant go wrong with...
"Proper preperation prevents **** poor performance!"

I think you all can imagine what goes in the space! lol

*particularly*?, *peculiarly*?, *perversely*?

That's the chap, stumbled across him late last night. A moment of calm reflection at a point when I was ready to explode. 21 hours straight in an office is about enough to push anyone over the edge.

Succinct enough.

 

[Wayland]

Yes, that's why I liked it.

They have a very ordered World view and every tool has it's proper use and place. No ifs, no buts, it's done right otherwise the spirits will disapprove and punish or desert you.

It's part of the reason they used to decorate their tools so well, it's about respect for the spirits of their environment and their prey.

Of course much of that is changing with new beliefs but I get where the old ideas were coming from.

I reckon it's Rik_uk3 and he's been kidding us on all this time

 

[jackcbr]

I like the idea of decorated tools. Let's be honest, anyone who has made their own knife guard it most zealously whilst out

He has good videos and philosophy of bushcraft but his semi permanent shelter is cool but won't shed water.

When i began his stuff was great, i like listening to older gentleman about bushcraft stuff.
