campcraft
Wilderness survival knowledge
Campcraft is the skills and knowledge needed for outdoor camping—pitching tents, building fires, cooking over open flames, finding water, reading terrain.
The term belongs to scouting and wilderness education: The counselors taught basic campcraft to the new campers.
It suggests self-sufficiency in nature rather than glamping or car camping with modern conveniences.
