Bushcraft
Practice Kit
In order to become proficient at anything,
practice in developing new skills is first needed. Once the skills
have been learned, they need to be mastered - until they become
second nature. In order to achieve this, practice, practice,
practice.
It can sound boring after a while, practice, practice,
practice - drone, drone, drone - moan, moan, moan. But really, it can't be
emphasised enough!
However boring it sounds by keeping on about it,
practicing your bushcraft skills needn't be anything like boring. You can make
it really exciting by involving the whole family. While some families play with a football or
hit a ball with a bat, try great games like seeing who's the first to light
a small cooking fire without using matches.
Or perhaps (if the conditions permit) a shelter building
contest, using only a small knife and ten feet of bailing twine per person.
If conditions don't permit shelter building or fire lighting,
then all go orienteering on one of the many fixed courses in forests throughout
the country.
Without directly realising it, and without frightening the
children, everyone is keeping their skills honed for the time they might be
needed.
