My son asked me what bushcraft was and I explained that it was a way of life where respect is shown to everything natural. Understanding the outdoors, wether it be in the local park or deep in some forrest. Living with nature, again, wether it be on a camping weekend or permanently. He asked if we were part of it. I explained that we go out, we camp, we respect all that we do and see. He asked if killing animals is showing respect. Stumped me for a short while and I said yes, providing that the animal just being killed was done with purpose and respect and NOT allowing the animal to suffer. Personally I don't think anyone can be a bushcrafter, unless they live 100% in the outdoors, following a lifestyle, like that of the aboriginy, or the native american (used to do).
What we do (my son and I) Is try to follow the path of the respectfull, follow the path of the buscraft way of life. We can make fire, make camp, in fact I'm pretty sure we could survive for prolonged periods in the wilds.
I try to follow the bushcraft way of life, ie reseptc for all things natural, whenever I am outside, even in the garden. I have long stopped buying cord for the garden, I now use my own made stuff. I no longer buy wooden implements for the kitchen, I make my own, etc. When I go camping I use pegs made from wood found on the forrest floor etc.... I DON'T go round in fleeces (propper sheepskins) made into capes etc, but wear good quality modern clothing, I use good quality modern most things when out, but if I ever lost them, I could continue to live without them (I hope).
To me (and my son now) bushcraft is respect, thats all. Thats my take on it anyway!
