Bushcrafting Suggestions

Because there are too many crafting/profession skills for each to have its own forum.

Awesome ideas! I'm particularly fond of the leafy cooking as well, because that's just fun. To-doed.

You just need large, thick, fibrous leaves! As an additional bonus, some leaves can impart flavor and seasoning. I roast pork in banana leaves, for instance, in real life on occasion (in a dish in the oven tho, not on coals).

Minor addition that would be handy. Being able to UNSTRING a bow. Mostly because cordage is pretty precious due to how time intensive it is to make.

A way to prematurely extinguish campfires would be great! Perhaps very rapidly and easily if water is on hand, or dirt and sand, and at the risk of taking minor damage to the feet if nothing is readily available (by stamping it out with boots or feet, though I wouldn't recommend the latter).

Can we get some sort of recipe for Bushcraft (and possibly weaving or leatherworking) that's essentially a folded bag with handles used to carry firewood, branches, poles, or other long objects that might be too big or awkward to carry in a regular backpack because they stick out?

Something like this, but could be wicker or cloth and not as fancy: https://krukgarage.com/projects/shop/kr ... kruk-4.jpg

There are also pole-carrying duffel type bags as well that can be worn over-the-shoulder or carried by handle. They come in either open-topped or fully enclosed. Either option might work nicely. Maybe the log-carrying version is more versatile and the duffel-style a bit less-so. This might also help those who want to carry around multiple spears for hurling without having to worry about collecting after each throw.

It might be a nice perk if STR attribute helped reduce the time/steps needed to crush fibers. It's a pretty tedious process and I don't think there's currently any way to speed it up, even with higher skill.

I would love a wearable stave/staff/pole knot/bandolier/sling. Something that goes around one shoulder and has a knot/loop for pole type weapons. A harness sounds like you are strapped.

Since Bushcraft foraging is mostly meant for natural fibers and edible forgeable (currently at least!), it'd be really nice to have some desirable/rare edible forgeable out in the wild. Bonus points if some of those rare edibles have toxic copy-cat species out there that grow in similar climes and requires a high (over 300 or 400 probably) amount of bushcraft to properly identify (example: the Morel and False Morel mushroom IRL).

It'd be nice if folks could process sheets of bark from logs into strips of bark for the purposes of bark cloth creation.

Could we get a recipe for making mats we can sit on out of woven grass? Obviously it would work for Weaving as well (let them do it too!), but it'd be nice to have a lightweight item like that to be able to tote around, or make on the fly.
