Whether in the wilderness or in the financial system, true freedom comes when you take responsibility for yourself.

What is Bushcraft?

Bushcraft is the art of living in and with nature. It's about being able to cope with the outdoors using simple means — making fire, building shelters, finding and purifying water, cooking outside, and being self-sufficient. This also includes botany: knowing which plants are edible, which have healing powers, and how to better understand and respect nature.  

And when it comes to equipment, everything has to fit in your backpack. Unlike camping, you don't drive to the site in a car, but carry only the bare essentials — minimalist and independent.

Many associate Bushcraft with adventure and wilderness, but at its core there is more: freedom and self-determination.

Those who practice Bushcraft learn to be independent—not reliant on modern infrastructure, but able to rely on their own abilities and nature.

Freedom through Bushcraft

Whether alone, with friends, or with your own children, Bushcraft offers moments of peace and independence. Anyone who has ever spent the night in the forest under a tarp or a self-built shelter made of wood and leaves immediately feels how liberating it is to live outdoors without luxury, but with true independence.

Bitcoin – the digital form of freedom

Just as Bushcraft stands for independence in nature, Bitcoin symbolizes independence in the digital and financial world. Bitcoin is not just any “cryptocurrency,” but the original – a decentralized, scarce, and secure monetary system that no one can control or arbitrarily increase. Many therefore call it digital gold

While fiat currencies such as the Euro or Dollar are losing more and more purchasing power due to inflation, Bitcoin remains stable in its monetary policy thanks to its limited supply of 21 million Bitcoins. For many, it is therefore the best way to protect themselves against inflation and loss of value in the long term.

Bushcraft & Bitcoin – two sides of the same freedom

At first glance, Bushcraft and Bitcoin have little in common, but both worlds revolve around the same core:

  • Self-determination instead of dependence
  • Freedom instead of restriction
  • Personal responsibility instead of blind trust

In the forest, this means making your own fire instead of relying on electricity. In the financial world, it means holding your assets in Bitcoin instead of trusting the promises of banks or governments.

I'm Simon, a passionate Bushcrafter, Bitcoiner, and family man.

My goal: to get people excited about nature and show them how much freedom there is in simplicity.
