Being out in the woods, listening to the wind in the trees, breathing the fresh air, and living in a minimalist way is one of the most rewarding experiences a person can have in this modernized day and age.
Bushcrafting and general wilderness experience is essential to good mental health, especially for those cooped up in a cubicle all week!
This being said, I have noticed a rather odd trend in wilderness enjoyment in the past 2 years or so. Commonly this trend appears under the guise of "bushcrafting" when in actual fact it is simply bare survival.
Bushcrafting shouldn't leave a person unduly exhausted, irriated or injured in any way; rather, it should refresh and harken back to past centuries when our ancestors lived quite well and quite comfortably off the land.
It's a well known fact that hunter gatherers around the globe have more spare time, time to relax, and tend to live much longer and be healthier than those individuals living in primitive farming communities.
It is this relaxed and sucessful lifestyle that we as bushcrafters should seek to effectively reproduce whenever we shed the shackles of the city and venture out into the wilds.
Of course, living sucessfully in the wilderness all comes down to practice, common sense, decent equipment and the right attitude.
These are the things I look forward to sharing with you.
Life is a journey, and we have to learn from those who have walked the path first, otherwise we are destined to make the same mistakes over and over again.
