Well for me it was to meet girls, and there simply isnt enough taking part i feel so its all beeen a waste of time to be honest
For me, Bushcraft is a way of exploring that central theme of our place within the world/nature. How do we relate to it now, compared to the past and certain poeples presently. I came to Bushcraft through my own attempt at philosophical ponderings, realising that `reality` is nature in its purest form (although man-made reality is stretching out through it to almost all parts which is a tragady). So for me there is always that one central theme to explore and take reference from our ancestors and indigenous cultures. We have to a great extent lost our connection in any meaningful way and Bushcraft is a means to re-discover it in the context of practicallity rather than spirituality.
Thats my pennies worth, two pence worth I think i`d be ripping you all off
