A rose by any other name…

Bushcraft is a loaded term these days. Mention bushcraft to a non-practitioner and their most likely reaction will be “You mean like that bloke Ray Mears?” and while Ray has done a huge amount to raise public awareness of bushcraft, he is by no means the first or the only person to practice it. Mention it to a practitoner, their reaction will most likely either be one of hero worship for Mr Mears or a dismissal of the term in favour of one that sounds different but means the same,

Bushcraft. Woodcraft. Woodmans skills. Indigenous skills. Primitive living. There are lots of names for the same things, but they all boil down to the same thing – getting closer to nature – but bushcraft currently has the most recognition.

And so I introduce the new section on my site – Bushcraft – in which I will file anything related to the outdoors..
