Jacob Herman Bushcraft Skills Course Setting up Camp

By R. Jacob Herman

Bushcraft Skills, Fire is Good… The joy of making a fire with the bow drill. Hard work went into those flames. Not a single person that made a fire was not grinning from ear to ear.

USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- When our French and English and Swedish ancestors first came to this land we call America, they were in search of Gold, God, and land. Those men, the hard ones, the ones who shaped our culture, hunted the same forests that the Cherokee did in search of meat to live and fur that could be traded.

The Overmountain men roamed the Appalachians, and down into the fertile Cherokee hunting grounds. They used what we call bushcraft skills to survive. Making shelter, making a fire in adverse conditions, eating wild game, and being able to be at home in the forest generally. Those skills were brought from those that crossed the big forests of Scandinavia, poached to support their families on land owned by the King, or learned during years of warfare on the continent.

Some of the best bushcrafters that I have met are our cousins across the pond in England.
