Is Camping and Bushcraft a part of prepping and survivalism? Your Views

[Scythe13]

I'd have to agree (WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!?!?) with you NR. If you can't get to the wilderness, you'd be in a bit of trouble. But many B&W skills are transferable to the city. There was that video about flint knapping where the guy made a glass bottle into an arrow head, just as one example.

As for the 'learn to use a knife' thing, I'd say that is a large part of basic bushcraft. Butchery is certainly a part of it. Every survival skills book I've got, video I've watched, or person that's taught me, has told me about butchering an animal. So I'd not seperate butchery from bushcraft.

Basic bushcraft required the use and maintainance of a blade, e.g. a knife. A more advanced level of bushcraft is the ability to MAKE your own knife.
