Bushcraft and Homesteading

Learn bushcraft skills. They are very useful, unique, and add a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Bushcraft skills span learning how to safely and properly use a knife, building shelters, tying knots, starting fires, navigation, using plants, protecting nature and much more. Of course, it is also about learning to survive in the wilderness.

Homesteading is the concept of being self-sufficient, and is a vast topic to dive into. Some of the homesteading lifestyle skills and knowledge to learn are gardening and home food preservation. It’s amazing to be able to plant, grow, and eat your own food. All these skills grow your confidence, improve self-reliance, and help with being prepared!

These disciplines provide a solid foundation and huge advantage in a professional career. Reading is the basis to learn all things. Reading gives one the potential to learn anything on their own. From reading, any other knowledge can be gained.
