The Amish way of life is the antithesis of bushcrafting and as such they have nothing to teach us. Land ripped by ploughs and milking overbred cows, energy imported in the shape of hay and presumably feed. They may have some craft but how relevant are these? I wonder how many Amish type communities a country could afford.
Of course they offer the attraction of a kind of "Good Life" but would anybody like to exchange the life of Tom and Barbara for one of theocratic rule?
Just how many "bushcrafters" do you think could live off the land without conventional farming techniques (and fairly huge imports as well) in the UK? Its a lot less than the current population.
