Competiton - Win a pellet pouch

a picture postcard snap of a sunset is not "bushcraft" to me ,it's nature in all it's glory.
Bushcraft to me is the interaction with nature and a picture of "bushcraft " should show that.

Just MO

I liked the fire pic SquirrelBoy ,nothing as relaxing as staring into a camp fire :biggthump

Cheers Rb - your not alone I feel the same.

Its nice to see a beautiful setting but im not sure thats the `spirit of bushcraft`.

I feel its what we DO with nature and how she provides for us - be it food, water, fire or shelter - that is bushcraft to me. Using mother nature and helping us to live in harmony with her, its all possible with the special knowledge that bushcraft brings.

Just my thoughts :biggthump

After reading this thread I went to gadong (I'm in Brunei) to do some shopping and to my suprise found the pouches in one of the shops there, the whole range.

I'll have to submit my avatar. It's maybe not the most bushcrafty but it was taken whilst on a walk with my family. It seemed such a nice peaceful place. I was there with people who I now don't get to see as much as I'd like. The place is very special to me as I've been around that area with both friends and family. It is my tie with the people back home and also thoughs who have gone off and doing different things learning new skills.

I'll get the bigger picture on after dinner.

iv not mannaged to get hold of the picture which somes up bushcraft for me (not that i think one picture can do it) but if i had to pic one it would be a freeze frame from one of rays programs.. i dont remember where they were it may have been russia or the german backforest one.. but the moment it when ray meets a man who has been living in the wilderness for sometime but has never mastered the bow drill ray shows him how to do it and the man manages it.. the shot i would choose is the one of that mans face after he has jus done it for the first time.. rapture-joy.. i can describe as we well know id need a thousend words

I have tried but never managed it and im sure the feeling is one of total elation.

I think that each of us find something within bushcraft that gives it all meaning to us. Trying to find just one out of all of it would probably be an impossibility for most of us. I know it is for me.

The spirit of bushcraft ?
Well to me bushcraft is about stoping and taking time to look around and spend a little time just taking it all in.
I spend as much time as i can outdoors and nature never stops amazing me.
Last night i went lamping rabbits but spent most of the night walking along with a badger ,it let me follow it all around the field and it was a privilege to be so close so a wild animal in it's environment.
You don't need to go to a rain forest or a desert (although it would be nice) to appreciate nature because it's all around us.
You don't have to travel very far to find amazing things ,you just have to take the time to stop and see them.
The spirit of bushcraft is not about the latest tent ,most expensive handmade knife or what coat "Ray" is wearing this week ,it's about being able to feel completely at home in the natural environment.

Well said Rapid boy....Couldn't have put it better myself :super:
