Bushcraft definitions (humour)

[Toddy]

IMHO, FWIW, my FAK, EDC, PSK & SAK, are BOB essentials. IRL HWMBLT thinks it's overkill, IIMMC.
GBA, SFA and PPK don't fit in my handbag though, even if it is DPM

QED, EOD

the phrase "" that's a job for my pocketboy"" / "" time to get my pocketboy out"" has on occasion caused confusion..... seems not everyone is familiar with silky saws....

This is a personal favourite of mine that I saw on a sticker on the back of a tatty Mk2 LandRover in Tesco's car park. "Bushcraft---Where you spend thousands to live like a homeless person" I want one of those stickers.

Bumping an old thread I came across when looking for the list of commonly used bushcraft initials...like FAK.

I laughed at the posts and thought it worthy of resurrection.

Anyone have any more ?
