>>474315People interested in bushcraft are often against using modern tools that make things easy, like pocket saws, gas lighters and tents, because
>they make things too easy and require no skill whatsoever.>they are not traditional.Ability to make a fire using flint and steel, or bow & drill method requires some understanding of materials and fire itself. Bushcrafters want to use every opportunity to experiment with materials and learn about the environment they're in. By using a Bic one learns nothing about ligting fires. From their viewpoint, recommending a Bic for a newfag is like recommending Windows for someone interested in open source software and Linux.
