RE: Bushcraft on a Budget
Many years ago when I was teaching Secondary school I was saddled with one session of a class called "Life Skills". It was a very boring class involving an attempt to keep the educational system in touch with real life student needs.
I did some unconventional things like prep training and recreation planning.
One section of the class was devoted to low cost camping as a recreation for folks starting up life with little as a recreational budget.
In those days I would require the students to put together a usable camp for $50 US. They would go about town taking photos of gear with price to prove their planning.
Most of the camps resembled that is shown on the link.
Occasionally I would have some young hobo genuis set up a fantastic ultra cheap camp.
Some of the kids would come up with good alternative uses for items like shower curtains, tins and tarps.
It was a fun section of the curriculum.
Oddly, after skinning out and processing a road killed deer, to show where their food came from, I was never asked to teach that course again!
