Bushcraft is the ability to make the most of your environment and survive alone in nature. Necessary in parts of the world such as Australia and South Africa, Bushcraft skills have also become popular in the United Kingdom thanks to TV survivalists such as Bear Grylls and Ray Mears demonstrating exceptional bushcraft skills.
Bushcraft skills enable you to make the most of natural resources and include fire making, tracking, shelter construction, making and using tools, food and resource foraging, trapping, hunting, water gathering, rope and net making as well as many other skillful tasks.
