Don’t get me started on the “bushcrafting” cult.
I spent a few years in my youth shooting photos for nature books in the wilds of Central and South America. The guides were these wizened old geezers who could out-walk and out-climb me in my 20’s.
They handled a machete like it was just a biological extension of their arm, clearing trail and making rough shelters. Scared the shit out of me when I first saw how they used a machete to open a coconut held in their other hand. Those bushcraft nerds should spend a little time in the actual bush.
