Old African trackers, camp personnel, and PH's often show off old school methods of dealing with hunting/tracking/cooking/logistics that are simple yet effective. Many I would never have known about if I had not observed them. Case in point--when I shot my warthog, the African personnel immediately went looking for just the right kind of sapling. They cut them off at the ground and then cut HALF WAY through near the first limb. They broke it in such a way as to peel the inner Cambrian layer with the bark from the wood core, THEN peel the fibrous layer from the bark, leaving them with home made fibrous ROPE. Wow. They trussed up the pig to a stout pole and two of them carried it out to the truck. Outstanding, and self sufficient.
Please feel free to share observations about bushcraft from not just an African perspective, but perhaps what you learned from indigenous people from the arctic and other places!
Maybe you have experienced it closer to home....
