Hi
Not posted as a complaint. In fact far from it.
I'd love to hear your views on why Scandinavia has such an impact on bushcraft in Britain. I mean in terms of techniques (eg axe carving) and equipment (eg Swedish surplus and Scandinavia knives). Is it that the British have lost their own bushcrafting skills as there's no need for self sufficiency? Is it that the Nordic forests are the most similar wilderness to those in the UK? Is it just that they're better at it?
I can't say I'm very knowledgable on Bushcraft but my thoughts at the moment are that it's a loss of skills in this country and that in Scandinavia the skills are widely practises and it's a relatively similar environment.
Over to you...
