BushCraft
In this section rather than trying to archive every technique in bush craft which would require a website of its own, we have put together a few of the fundamentals you would need to survive in the wilderness. This section is intended to only give you an idea of bushcraft and we recommend that you research any material in depth before you attempt to go out into the bush. The best way to learn bush craft is by someone skilled in that art with hands on training because no amount of video or book reading can substitute actually doing the real thing. One thing to always to keep in mind about bush craft-practice before it becomes a necessity.
