These videos got me thinking about some of the other traditional industries which are now all but lost and which we as bushcrafters probably still practice to a certain extent as part of the skills we call 'bushcraft' but which were actually once the skills of everyday life for many, many people, particularly those living in rural areas and relying on the work they could do with their own hands and basic tools to support themselves.
I sometimes wish I had been born in an era when this kind of work was the norm rather than something most of us can only do as a hobby.
