In my own opinion bushcraft is a set of types of skills and knowledge that can be used to survive the outdoors living in the bush can simplify down to four to survive you will need to know constructing a shelter, creating a fire, finding food, collecting water are all essential bushcraft skills. Others may include making cordage, plant identification and natural navigation. there are also many more skills which fall under the umbrella to so to speak Bushcraft i think is the understanding interpreting the outside world rather than mastering it for survival purposes bushcraft doesn't have to involve multi day adventures battling the elements it can be something as simple as building a den in the woods or starting a fire using ferro rod on your next outdoor venture. Unlike survival skills, Bushcraft I think is about how to live in the wilderness comfortably with Survival it's all about getting back to civilization as quickly and as safely as possible. The skills from both do overlap in some areas in terms of their technical requirements but when applying those skills, they tend to show the differences. Survival often teaches you to work with whatever you can find if you were to be caught in a natural disaster of some kind bushcraft teaches you ways in which you can use man made tools to replicate items you may need to survive using natural resources. Bushcraft is generally i think is about enjoying living remotely in nature and lacks the impending doom that survival often revolves around. The first thing you will learn is the best to appreciate nature when seeking life outdoors and leave little or no trace of your activities it is interesting that in some ways survival can be seen to look to modern civilization for short-term salvation, whereas bushcraft looks to the wild for long-term salvation I think personally I think both views are valid and non-conflicting the possession of both skills and sets and attitudes make for a rounded approach. Although I have made some distinctions between bushcraft and survival it is important to consider that some of the key skills are common in both approaches. For example, the Four Pillars of survival - fire, water, shelter, food contain skills that are central to both disciplines. It is the objectives that the differences may be found for a example, food may be of lower priority, but for bushcraft, food is fundamental because by definition we are looking at long-term situation. more to the point, with correct bushcraft knowledge, food is all around us in the wild. Also, the kind of shelter we build in a bushcraft living Santario would be more of elaborate than a simple overnight survival shelter. Fire again can be very important in both survival and bushcraft but the number of uses for fire in a bushcraft living situation would be greater in survival we might use modern materials to ignite and establish our fire, but in bushcraft we are looking to do this with natural materials. Again, we are looking at a longer time span. Navigation is also an important bushcraft and survival skill, but it is the objective that is different. In bushcraft it is the knowledge of your home range and the ability to move around to collect resources, in survival it is usually about getting back to civilization. Perhaps it is because many of the same skills apply, that distinctions between bushcraft and survival have become somewhat blurred and confused. If we have those types of skills, we can use them to fit or objectives in my personal opinion.
