I like this site as it is open and information is freely given with no running you down with the questions that are asked
So long may this site continue and grow in strength

I think bushcraft definitely has something to offer survivalists, learning how to make fire and shelter, purify water etc from nothing but what you find around you in the woods can only be helpful as you never know when you could be separated from your kit.
Sometimes though bushcraft is just a different name for camping. Under a tarp and using a billy can rather than in a tent and using a frying pan, the only difference is bushcraft sounds cooler. Like everything else, someone sees a market and wants to sell you overpriced kit to those with money

If the answer to all our prepping needs is to book into a hotel then why bother having prepping forum at all, just use the friggin Yellow Pages
Hotels may well be an option up to a point, but I prep to deal with things that are beyond that point and when I first started visiting the odd forum or two I assumed they would be too.
It's like asking on a gardening site how to grow your own veg, and being told to just go to tesco's and buy it instead
