About this episode
Also known as woodcraft, bushcraft culture is somewhere between a hobby and a philosophy. It’s a minimalist approach to surviving in nature, without disturbing it. It’s the use and practice of certain skills in a natural environment, like a forest. Many bushcraft skills were common throughout the history of humanity, but aren’t so necessary in the towns and cities where most people live in this day and age. Nevertheless, the practice of bushcraft has become more and more popular as a hobby, with many youtube videos appearing online and taking up entire shelves in bookstores. The term bushcraft is believed to date back to the 19th century, with the “bush” being a commonly used term for a remote area of wild country, like a woodland. Where does it come from?
