Looking for potential recruits for my.... INTL Trekking team across a whole country.

Okay so the reason why I have returned back to the forums aside from the passionate minded people and Bushcraft as a whole is for an incredibly crazy idea which involves multiple types of people with various skill sets, some I do have, some I have engaged with others who will join me on the trek have these and I do mean Trek rather then tramp as it is what is called in this country that it is involved in, so that whole when in Rome, dont be Greek thing. ATTENTION BUSHCRAFTERS.

New Zealand Bushcraft Community: Reconnecting with Nature

New Zealand, known for its amazing nature and wild corners, has always attracted those who seek to find closeness to nature. In this country, where amazing forests, mountains and lakes are home to numerous species of plants and animals, bushcraft, the art of survival in the wild, has found its devoted fans. The New Zealand bushcraft community is not just a bunch of adventurous people. This is a gathering of people united by a thirst for nature and the knowledge necessary to survive in it.

The Art of Bushcraft in New Zealand

Bushcraft is the art of survival and adaptation in the wild with minimal use of modern tools and technology. This art requires a wide range of skills, including the ability to build shelters, make fires, navigate the area, find food and water, and create the necessary tools from natural materials.

In New Zealand, where primeval forests, mountains and rivers provide an abundance of opportunities for the practice of bushcraft, this art is especially relevant. People come here from all over the world to learn how to survive in this unique environment.

Education and exchange of experience

The bushcraft community in New Zealand is actively partnering with local organizations and environmental groups to create educational programs and events. These programs include courses in survival, orienteering, working with natural materials and many other skills necessary to feel comfortable in the wild.

An important part of bushcraft is the exchange of experience and knowledge between members of the community. This allows each participant to develop their skills and learn from others. Meetings, workshops and nature walks become an opportunity not only to learn, but also to build long-term friendships.

Respect for nature

The bushcraft community in New Zealand is committed to the principle of respect for nature. Bushcrafters strive to use natural resources carefully and responsibly. They learn from nature, and do not try to subdue it. This is an important aspect of the bushcraft philosophy that helps to preserve the unique nature of New Zealand for future generations.

Social Influence

The bushcraft community in New Zealand is not limited to knowledge and survival. It also has a positive impact on people and society as a whole. Participation in bushcraft promotes the development of physical and psychological skills, improves self-discipline and promotes spiritual health. Bushcrafters tend to become more responsible citizens and active conservationists.

Conclusion

The New Zealand bushcraft community is a group of people united by a common passion for nature and the desire to learn how to survive in it. They strive not only to develop their skills, but also to share their knowledge with others, respect nature and make a positive contribution to society. This community not only helps people gain survival skills, but also reconnect with nature and themselves.
