The term woodcraft (or woodlore) denotes skills and experience in matters relating to living and thriving in the woods — such as hunting, fishing, and camping — whether on a short- or long-term basis. Traditionally, woodcraft pertains to subsistence lifestyles, with implications of hunting-gathering. In more recent times, and in developed countries, it relates more to either outdoor recreationalism or survivalism.

Whether traditional or modern, woodcraft may be roughly equated to the phrase "living off the land".

Techniques

A partial list of recreational woodcraft techniques might include knowledge of wildlife behavior, identifying and utilizing wild plants and animals (especially for food), camp cooking, orienteering (including hiking skills and use of a map and compass), fire making (including procurement of firewood), selecting and preparing a campsite, lashing and knot techniques, the use of tents and wilderness first aid.

What is your opinion of Creationism? (Literal Interpretation of the Bible, especially Genesis)?
Q. My opinion has always been one of amazement, being an atheist Ive always had very respectable and equally intellectual Christian friends. But Creationism- well, the thought that the earth is 6000 years old is just hard to accept. Yes, many, many, MANY people believe this and would bet their life on it. Ive come to know that this is about the time glue was invented by the Sumatrans, and domestic dogs were bred. My question is what your opinion is on this matter.

But thats me, I want to hear your side, I could be wrong. Also big favor guys, take a look at this site Its a small… [cont.]

A. I am a Creationist. I strongly believe that what I choose to call G-d is the Creator of the entire Universe and Everything in It, including Platypuses and Pterodactyls (they are my favorite kinds of animals). I am tired of religious mad-men/women laying claim to a name, and dragging it through the mud of intellectual dishonesty, making it impossible for me to call myself a creationist, though that is rightly what I am and be proud of it. So now I am re-claiming it. Live with it. The proponents of Intelligent Design (and other forms of 'Literal Creationism') make some rather glaring mistakes that are not related to the scientific process of 'Creation'. Their first mistake is to is to assume the existence of G-d as a FACT. They cannot… [cont.]
