bushcrafters live in teepee's not rv's.&nbsp; just kidding, is anybody here a bushcrafter?&nbsp; highdesertranger

 

[frickinducky]

Nice idea. Hubby and I are in the gray area. Trying to learn more. He is switching from carpentry to bushcraft items.

How about a definition of bushcrafting. Sounds Indian related? Is it building with woodland found materials?

I went to the bushcrafter.com site and looked around but could find no definition.

My wiki link posting is a definition. Just click it

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I don't know much about bushcraft, but there is an organization called BackTracks that hosts primitive living skills conferences which look&nbsp; interesting.&nbsp; I'd like to attend one of these days.</span><br><br><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://backtracks.net/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://backtracks.net/index.html</a></span>

Bushcrafters pride themselves in the fact of being able to live with nature with what nature provides. Primitive at it's best. They can make a shelter with what they find laying on the forest floor, find food if they know the local stuffs, set traps with only using a knife and what materials are found in nature. It's all about really living off the land. It's a tough way to live but very satisfying. I do it on trips with other bushcrafters around the Midwest and know many others.&nbsp;<br>I do not know any that live in rvs or vans tho.&nbsp;<br>There was a young man a couple years ago that moved into the back of his truck for a winter but I lost track of him.&nbsp;<br>I am a member of several forums.<br>One is www.bushcraftusa.com<br><br>There are many sites out there. Google Cody Lunden or Pathfinder....many many people are doing this.

I grew up learning a lot of this from my grandfather. I don't practice it on a daily basis,but I have retained a good portion of the knowledge. My grandfather always said,"if you can set snares,you won't starve".&nbsp;

I am a Bushcrafter as well.<br>Live in my Box Truck in Canada, next winter might live in a modified Canvas Tent or Homemade Yurt/Ger.&nbsp;<br><br>Learn and do not let anyone talk you out of it, because you live in a vehicle. Big country and it is hard to get around with a Horse or Bike nowadays.&nbsp;

offroad, it makes me cringe to reference Youtube, given how annoyed I am with the Google+ thing, but there is a community of users there who post off grid, prepare, and bushcraft type videos.

Here's one I like although I'm not very active there. http://bushcraftusa.com/forum/forum.php A couple of folks from here went to the Winter Count outside of Phoenix after the RTR last winter. Perhaps they will chime in.

Didn't know you were a bushcrafter owl. Interesting. I used to be very active up to 2 years ago....haven't been to the site in quite awhile. Am unswydd there.

My father was full blood Creek indian, born on a res in nw Oklahoma. We never had money when I was young so hunting, fishing were important to our family. We didn't have all the gear some folks had but we made do and made meat. The coming meltdown won't be so bad for some of us.

I've got a few friends that are very serious bushcrafters. After hanging around with them for a bit, I got interested in blackpowder as one of them is a mountainman. He can build just about anything out in the deep woods using stuff thats just laying around...(plus he's a really neat guy too.)

and after I got into black power mussle loaders, then I got into traditional metal engraving, which I've been getting tutored in by an old knife maker.

Fun Stuff!!

Metal engraving...that's cool. Engraved firearms are beautiful.

I have learned so much about the land and myself since getting into bushcraft. I have found that I'm tougher than I thought and willing to learn more!
