One can taste the aboriginal life in the wilderness by learning survival skills that provide hands on training on how to cope up with the challenges one will encounter in the unfriendly landscapes of the forest. It is a proven fact that one should keep himself supplied with enough calories to get going in the wild.
Meat undoubtedly is a better source of calories and essential nutrients compared to unidentified plant products abounding the jungle region. Further, one would not run into the risk of picking up toxic plant products out of ignorance.
Bushcraft demands that one should be well acquainted with the techniques to put together primal weapons which are effective to the core and preserve your vitality. This calls for assembling the hunting apparatus from commonly found forest items.
The even weight and aerodynamic features would come in handy while going for the prey. Such features ensure that the weapon put in place from commonly gathered objects would act on its target with more power. This can be attributed to the leverage created by the unique angle allowing for transfer of greater energy than normal.
The survival skills also call for an increased life span of weapons created. For example, a rabbit stick can be hardened by having the moisture driven out of it through modulated exposure to the fire. The carve scratches can be camouflaged to make it difficult for the animals to notice the weapon’s motion as it approaches to put an end to the life of the prey. This can be pulled off by darkening the weapon with smoke or concealing the bright marks by rubbing it lightly with charcoal.
Bushcraft also involves learning the right technique to throw weapons for effective results at the times of emergency preparedness. For example, throwing a rabbit stick in sidearm position would produce optimum results when there is a clearance among the trees to pave way for unobstructed flight. Overhand throws hold well in regions where the trees are distanced modestly. All available techniques should be mastered for precision, speed and accuracy. It is imperative that one should adequately prepare himself to live a life in wilderness by learning the essential tactics, tricks and survival skills.
