#35 Practical Bushcraft

#35 Practical Bushcraft

Author: Nature Reliance Media September 23, 2020 Duration: 20:39

In this podcast Nature Reliance Director Craig Caudill takes a critical look at "bushcrafting" and what he feels most schools are missing.  He discussed how to be both a steward of natural resources and at the same time remove live species during training.   This is a combination that is often missing in most survival and bushcraft schools that Nature Reliance School is uniquely qualified to be different from the "rest of the pack".

The Nature Reliance Podcast from Nature Reliance Media is for anyone whose curiosity is sparked by a forest trail or a star-filled sky. It moves beyond simple how-to guides, though you’ll certainly hear practical wisdom on bushcraft and finding your way without a GPS. The conversations here weave together the hands-on skills of wilderness living with a deeper, scientific understanding of the natural world. You might find yourself learning about animal behavior one week and the principles of sustainable outdoor ethics the next. This podcast sits at a unique crossroads, appealing to the hobbyist angler, the weekend hiker, the dedicated survivalist, and the amateur naturalist all at once. It’s built on the idea that true reliance comes from knowledge-not just knowing how to make a fire, but understanding the ecosystem that provides the tinder. Episodes feature voices with real dirt-under-the-fingernails experience, offering stories and insights that make the wilderness feel less like a challenge to conquer and more like a complex, fascinating home to comprehend. Listening feels like a thoughtful conversation after a long day on the trail, one that leaves you better prepared and more connected to the landscape around you.
