So, has the survivalist/bushcraft thing gone out of style yet?

bushcraft is the not a counter cultrure you shortsighted millenial, it is the foundation, bright colloured plastic clothes is the fad

lol, slavery an' dying of preventable illnesses are the FOUNDATION.

>knowing how to utilize nature for shelter, food, water, heat and comfort is "slavery" and "illness"

No
My LARP group still does a bushcrafting event every year where we cosplay survivalists like we see on TV
We have been doing this since the late 90s, when bushcrafting got popular because of TV
But don't call it a fad

>>940727
Knowing survival skills isn't a fad. I try to keep up on a few since I could get lost fishing and hunting.
The problem is the LARPers who want to live it every weekend.

So, since it's LARPing, do you guys drink piss or do you just bring lemonade and pretend it's piss?

>stuff with leaves

What about the spiders?

Not everyone lives in fucking Australia

You'd probly most likely need it when it's wet out/snow covered. Have fun finding dry leaves or "newspapers" for ur "Warm Emergency Parka"

>>940727
>What about old-timey gear like wool blanket and leather backpacks?
Way light and arguably better alternatives gear exist.
If you deliberately take the 'cool' option over the functional one when going out you are LARPING, not /out/ing.

prefill those "pockets" with uninflated balloons and such, fill when needed/deflate when not. Or just get a decent shell jacket and have one of those tiny air-inflated "poofer" jackets. Bonus of layers and redundancy.

bushcraft will never go out of style, but i think the fad of bushcraft in the sense of some cunt buying a $600 pack, $500 smock, $1000 knife and loads of other expensive equipment is quickly going out of style

So are wool blankets really inferior? I already have one at home so I thought I could just pick up another and be set. Should I really just go for a sleeping bag? Its not like these wool blankets are exactly cheap.

w2c $500 smock?

>>940980
I fucking love it

>>940727
>stuff this windbreaker with leaves and it gets warm
Hate to break it to ya...but that's literally any jacket, hell, a trash bag works for that.

they're itchy, heavy for the insulation and provide no real padding, but they retain some/most of their insulation when wet.
