Too many stupid socialmedia-scum are getting in to it now. At least were I am. Worst thing is they probably can't go on a trip without "documenting" it. Even worse more and more people who shouldn't be giving people advice, because of their (to some) obvious lack of skill and knowledge, are trying to make themselves into online-bushcraft gurus (this goes for backpacking as well to an extent). Probably up to 50% of the youtube videos on "bushcraft" are useless.

Even worse is that with a surge in popularity, and people being morons who don't know about LNT, I notice more and more trees randomly cut down, abandoned camps, and I actually think is going to become a problem for nature in some places.

I love these two guys. And under 'love' i mean 'dislike strongly' because of their superficial knowledge of things they do and things they review.

Not to mention their obvious shilling.

I didn't went out since I was a kid and now I prepared for months to do it. It's taking so long because I'll go alone and don't want die doing it. /out/ helped along the way and so did YT. I'm an Adult and can discern between good advice and not so good advice. If someone goes out to film or is follwing a bad advice and get's into trouble with the autorities, hunters or is dying as a result, then I'm okay with that. That's life! Stupidity kills.

Hey man I'm not trying to take anything away from your experience, and I'm happy for you that your interest has been rekindled. I'm also happy that your critical of the opinions you find on the internet, whether on YT or here. I'm also ok with the things you mention. I am, however, not okay with so-called "bushcraft" turning into what I like to refer to as maximum impact-camping. I'm not okay with people cutting down trees just to test their new gear, or build a camp.

haha those were the days. I think I know who you're reffering to.

Dead standing wood is an important habitat for lots of species. If you permission to cut down wood it's a different thing.

Manchildren.

It is the equivalent of running with an assault rifle on full auto and expending a trillion rounds of ammunition, akin to what one sees in movies. Just not the way to do it.

>>1073568
I use batoning to create kindling when I am not allowed to collect and burn from the woods. I don't use it for splitting whole logs, but I do for cutting off small sticks.

What is the fucking point of using an uneven surface as your workbench god damn it man.

Back when 9 minutes was a really long time and, 100k views was reserved for music videos, and you had to pay for your own knives.

Truly the Wild West era.

wtf the girls look so impressed.. I def will try batoning.. how long do I need for mastering it?
>>
>>1074053
Probably forever, since you seem to be a retard.
>>
>>1074013
For splitting small kindling from sticks it makes sense. But doing it on logs that size is just dumb.
