Bushcraft definitions (humour)

[Harvestman]

I was thinking about how the words we use as bushcrafters mean something different to us than they might to the general population. Such as tree-huggers (hammock straps) or Swingers (bushcrafters who use a hammock)

With this in mind, I wonder if we can come up with some other humorous terms and definitions for bushcraft.

A few of my own:

Six-pack - one of your many rucksacks
Tarpology - a bushcraft qualification
Moratorium - being banned by SWMBO from buying any more knives

Come on folks, lets have your contributions...

Timely as I'm beginning to wonder if "humour" and "bushcrafters" is akin to suggesting UKIP has an affinity with the Channel Tunnell.
