>>610414>Do you bushcrafting folks mostly camp on private land?No, I prefer massive national forests and parks, but if I'm camping on someone's property I get their permission, as I'm usually doing so to mine, and they're usually getting a cut of my materials.
>Do/how do you follow Leave No Trace?If I'm on private land, I just bring a tent and other stuff that I pack in/pack out. If I'm in public land, I'm remote enough that nobody will likely find my camp, and I prefer to build intentionally semi-permanent stuff out of wood and stone, and leave it up. Huts and large stone thrones and detailed firepits, stone artwork as well. Stuff that would really make a cairn-hater cringe, but the thing is, cairn-haters are casual hikers that try to escape all evidence of humanity by doing short trips through places with high human traffick on easy trails, the kind of places you're going to see cairns that weren't built by fucking native americans. Feel free to kick over my shit if you could ever find it, be prepared for a week long journey.
I don't believe in the leave-no-trace philosophy when you are living as a primitive human. You just become part of nature, and what you leave is part of the environment. It's a situation where you are happy to find a bottle or tin can because you can make use of the object, instead of be upset about being reminded that people exist.
I'm fine with people disliking seeing trash or cairns when hiking, pick it up if you don't like it. Thinking their philosophy is objectively correct is retard mode. Non-radioactive trash doesn't even damage the environment.
