In a previous thread, Martin brought up a good point about survival vs bushcraft and it was a perspective I had not considered.
My personal interest in bushcraft is limited to learning interesting new things all geared toward increasing my enjoyment of the
wilderness; I never put a thought toward being in a survival situation because honestly, I've never been lost far from civilization,
never known anyone who has been, and I figure the chances of it are so slim I'll sort it out when it happens. Sure, I carry
mathches on me in case I fall through the ice or flip the canoe in cold weather, but that's about it. I'm just curious to know how
much thought and effort others put toward the survival side of this hobby.
