   • 2021, Zach Parham, Bushcraft Survival Guide […] , page 9:

     The two activities (bushcraft and camping) have remarkable similarities because they are both outdoor activities that occur in distant territories. Camping is what everybody can participate in regardless of their abilities to survive. On the other hand, bushcraft requires a learned skillset and some amount of experience to thrive.
