has gloss | eng: Bushcraft is a long-term extension of survival skills. A popular term for wilderness skills in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the term was popularised in the southern hemisphere by Les Hiddins (The Bush Tucker Man) in Australia as well as in the northern hemisphere by Mors Kochanski and recently gained considerable currency in the United Kingdom due to the popularity of Ray Mears and his bushcraft and survival television programmes. Bushcraft is about surviving and thriving in the natural environment, and the acquisition of ancient skills and knowledge to do so. Bushcraft skills include; firecraft, tracking, hunting, shelter building, the use of tools such as knives and axes, foraging, hand-carving wood, container construction from natural materials, rope and twine-making, and many others. These are the kinds of skills well known to our ancient predecessors, many of which are still practiced today as an everyday skill amongst aboriginal and native peoples around the world. |

has gloss | nld: Bushcraft is oorspronkelijk een term die gebruikt werd voor met name een scala aan overlevingstechnieken in een bepaalde wildernis (specifiek in de zogeheten bush). In bredere zin wordt de term inmiddels gebruikt voor het (over)leven in, van en met de natuur, met tevens respect voor die natuur. Er is geen goede vertaling voor het Engelse woord bushcraft. In het Engels onderscheidt men daarbij soms nog woodcraft indien het specifiek in bosrijke omgeving afspeelt. Veel natuurvolkeren leven nog via de oude tradities waar de hedendaagse bushcraft in deze elementen deels op is gebaseerd. |
