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

[Devonian]

The "Wilderness" when used in a UK context does slightly perplex me.

Maybe parts of the Cairngorms could be classed as Wilderness, but the rest of the UK, including Dartmoor, is no more than "managed" Countryside/farmland and you are never more than a couple of miles from a road or farmhouse, and the majority of the time you can probably measure such distances in 100's of meters/yards.

So the real point of my earlier post is that even if you are in the countryside, in a real survival situation (post SHTF), are you really going to construct a debris shelter; or are going to use what is around you ie: a farmers barn/cow shed; a car; an abandoned house; the local church etc.......

Again I am not saying bushcraft is irrelevant - it is not, but the UK is VERY urbanised and there will be many better suited resources around us than we should be utilising for shelter; warmth; security; food and water etc etc.....
