A lot of what i do is done through scouting. being a helper you get to see what individuals are like when you get them outdoors especially when participating in the various activities that are part of bushcraft. bushcrafts a good way of getting people away from playstations, tv's etc and thus help build on a youngsters charactor and confidence.
a bit off subject but something i feel is overlooked, charector and confidence

If its going to be poets corner then this is pertinent
'The World is too much with us'
The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea her bosom to the moon;
The Winds that will be howling at all hours
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
For this, for every thing, we are out of tune;
It moves us not. Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus coming from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.
William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)

I'm still fairly new to bushcraft (which i had started earlier), but for me its the freedom to go where i want and do what i want (within reason), and knowing whatever tasks I accomplish during the day I will benefit from (unlike working in the office, with no thanks).
Just thinking about that poems people have put here, and was wondering if they is a poem/song that you hear, that makes you want to just grab your kit and go.
I have one such song, may sound a bit corny, but it also explaines how i feel when I am out. It called 'maybe' theme from Grizzly Adams.
For you youngsters who have never heard of Grizzly Adams, here is a link...listen to the words in the song.

That was all very eliquently put.
For me it is something that i have grown up around in one way or another. It's like being free, from what i'm still not exactly sure. It's not just the skills that make bushcraft for me, it's the feeling of contentment when outside. Being around other like minded people like yourselves when i'am outside is a bonus.

Not having to deal with any bull puckey.
Bull puckey is anything that you don't actually need to live and be comfortable.
I wouldn't necessarily like to live like that all the time, but it's certainly refreshing to just drop all the nonsense for a while.
