What is bushcraft?
Bushcraft is a relatively new phenomenon in Sweden. Abroad, in the USA, Great Britain and Canada, the term bushcraft has long been used for another side of survival in the wilderness. There is a great charm in simplicity and getting by on less, something that surely many in today’s society can relate to. This applies just as much in real life as in the forest, where it is easy to drag far too much stuff out with you, which usually results in a heavy and uncomfortable backpack.
