Back in the fall of 2008 Faol and myself started talking about making a website dedicated to bushcraft and all things outdoors. There are plenty of great bushcraft sites already but most of them are based out of the UK. Searching for a US based bushcraft site yielded few results and the idea of Bushcraft USA was born. Now I am by no means an expert in bushcraft but I enjoy being outside and love to surround myself with nature, the fact that I have an affinity for sharp knives doesn't hurt either. A small investment and Faol's computer expertise was all we needed to get Bushcraft USA up and running. Just one year ago if you would have asked me if I would ever start a website dedicated to bushcraft I would have declared you insane on the spot and sent you away but here I am and loving every minute of it.
One thing that really strikes me about the site is the quality of the membership there. Some people are bushcraft novices and others are experts but there is a shared bond between us all. Never would I have thought to see a forum with such respect between members. No one's a "guru" and everyone has something to learn and something to teach, the trick is to realize which one you should be doing and when. If you are interested in bushcraft, the outdoors, or preparedness please come on over to Bushcraft USA and introduce yourself. We'll save a spot on the log for you!
Have a look at our mission statement:
The mission of Bushcraft USA is to provide a North American focused forum for bushcraft and related activities. There are differences between the North American continent and the rest of the world, both geographically and culturally. We intend to explore the differences and similarities between the two bushcraft philosophies.
