Description
In this video I answer a question about whether bushcraft students have changed over the past 15-20 years.
I share my reflections on:
🌲 Why today’s learners often arrive with more awareness but less hands-on experience.
🌲 The influence of YouTube, smartphones, and social media on bushcraft learning.
🌲 The challenges of shorter attention spans and less patience with physical skills.
🌲 How modern students sometimes arrive better equipped — but not always better prepared.
🌲 Why bushcraft is ultimately about knowledge of nature, not expensive kit.
This video is an excerpt from my viewer Q&A show, AskPaulKirtley Episode 91.
