Martin (poshcrafter Martin - you know who he is ) once asked me why I wanted to camp on Dartmoor. I've been contemplating that question for probably a year now. It made me start asking myself so many more questions: What do I want to get out of wild camping and bushcraft skills? Why have I always wanted to make fire with a bow drill when I have matches, and lighters are so cheap? Why is it that I find sitting in sub zero temperatures with a small fire to warm my drink touches my innermost feelings of contentment? Why do I have such a strong desire to understanding the natural world around me?
I have some answers, but I don't want to steer your answers, so I'll just put it to you:
Why do you do what you do in Bushcrafting?
