More thoughts, about bushcraft and general stuff.
I think that generally, among the average joe,the common working class, there wasnt so much to choose from. This is true here, if not in other countries too, i dont know. We, as bushcrafters, are playing to be old school "woodsmen" and we like to have gear thats similar to the ones that our idols used. I do believe strongly that using that old pair of leaking leather boots and canvas clothing etc, really gives us closer and better experience, compared to using all that tech and modern gear. BUT, it always makes me wonder that why has "bc" evolved to a hobby and lifestyle,that says that its not ruined by commercial hype, but actually it really is affected by commercial stuff,more than is necessary. We like to say that we study and read, practice and admire the skills,attitude,values of the old timers, who werent so picky about sharpness of the axe, or trademark of the anorak, but at the same frigging time, we drool over the gear that our personal idols use in their books,youtube channels and tv-shows & video series. Aint that bit weird...?
