Etymologically derived from the combination of the words bush and craft, bushcraft is generally defined as "the art of living in the woods". It is a more primitive mode of survival where humans get closer to nature. Concretely, this translates into the practice of knowledge in the fields of fire, hunting, wood, or camping.

Whether camping for a few days or several weeks, it is essential to prepare well and think about every detail. It is often recommended to double up on certain light clothing in case of rain, such as t-shirts or socks. The size of each piece of equipment, their quality, and their ease of use are also important factors not to neglect.
