A traditionalist is a person who supports the established customs and beliefs of his or her society or group, and does not want to change them.

The American Campcraft tradition is thought to have started in 1861 with the Gunnery Camp, founded by Frederick Gunn in Washington, Connecticut

These skills can include:

How to build a fire

How to cook food

How to improvise a shelter

How to fish

How to catch and trap animals

How to prepare a balanced menu

How to pitch and strike a tent

How to prepare a safe area for a campfire

How to protect your camp from animals, insects, and bad weather

How to leave no trace of your presence when you leave the area

A minimalist lifestyle is intentionally living with fewer possessions — focusing only on the ones you need.

Number one personal inspiration for me Fredrick Gunn. Also inspired by A.G. Hales, Mors Kochanski, Horace Kephart, George Washington Sears, Susanna Moodie, and Les Hiddins
