The skills and knowledge needed to survive and thrive in wilderness areas, including making shelter, finding food, navigation, and fire-building.
Compound of 'bush' (wilderness) and 'craft' (skill or technique). The term became popular in the 20th century with outdoor education and scouting movements.
Bushcraft experienced a massive renaissance during COVID-19 lockdowns—sales of flint-and-steel kits and wilderness guides skyrocketed as people sought to reconnect with survival skills their ancestors took for granted.
