The Romance of Bushcraft...

[rik_uk3]

Not necessarily directed at you, I'm just amazed at the amount of energy that goes into talking about something that can be as simple as cooking some beans over a fire!

In that case I agree with you, lots of nonsense in this bushcraft stuff, but I enjoy the camping

for me its nothing to do with any romantic notion of the past, its about connecting to my suroundings, about being a very small piece of natures jigsaw, about giving more than you take, and not neccessarily material.
to become a part of my surroundings, i have to learn specific skills to enable me to do so. nowadays its called 'bushcraft'.

It's not nonsense...it's romance...

A wonderfully romantic notion...and I wholeheartedly applaud it...

The more I read here, the more it sounds like a Ray Mears episode! Do you lot write for him?!



As far as I can tell, bushcraft is plain camping with a twig and leaf soup thrown in!

@ stovie!..... ok you caught me in a serious moment

It's neither romance nor reality!

It's fun, that's what it is!
