What is Bushcraft?Bushcraft is the combination of Modern Wilderness Survival |
Bushcraft is the combination of Modern Wilderness Survival and useful Primitive Survival Techniques. It is a hybrid survival science that emphasizes both ancient knowledge (primitive technology) and the modern science of survival. Bushcraft normally splits it skill acquisition between Medium-Term Survival Techniques (4 to 40 Days) and Long-Term Survival Techniques (40 Days Plus). It is a combination of numerous skills including the ability to craft useful tools and equipment from the natural environment along with hunting and gathering skills.

Bushcraft skills include; firecraft, tracking, hunting, shelter building, the use of tools such as knives and axes, foraging, hand-carving wood, container construction from natural materials, rope and twine-making, and many others."--Bushcraft Wikipedia
