First, I'd like to say that I am impressed with the level of knowledge and craftsmanship abroad.
We do our best. Tough job though, taking into mind we just left our caves ... One day, when we're big boys we try to achieve and reach the same level of knowledge and craftsmanship as in the home country
Second, I am a little confused about this section of the forums. It seems to me that the nature of bushcraft is to be able to craft what you need in the wilderness, and most of the posts here seem to be people making things at home to use on trips/outings. I was wondering if someone could explain this to me, I've noticed this trend on other forums as well. Thanks in advance.
It's what it says on the tin really. DIY & Traditional Crafts are past time projects. Making alcohol stoves, leathercraft (anything from sheaths to pouches), DIY clothing, etc.
Out & About is to show your trips to membership. If you made traps on your trip you can include them, or if you made a hangi, etc.
Bushcraft & Survival Skills is for specific skills. If you want to show people how you made a trap, or if you want to know how to make a trap, etc.
Fair Game though is for ANYTHING that contains pictures of dead animals (unwritten rule; so people - who for whatever reason don't want to see these pics, can skip this section - without running into (for them) unwanted pics) or talk about rifles (guns)
Bushcraft Chatter ... well for anything bushcrafty, bit vague - admitted. Recently it's a trend for people to bung anything of any topic into this section, as they either don't read or don't care ... or think for that matter. :vio:
Hope this helps for the time being
