means The skill of working with wood or living and surviving in the woods — whether shaping timber by hand or reading a forest well enough to thrive in it.
from A plain English compound, old as the language itself: 'wood' (Old English 'wudu,' a tree or forest) bolted to 'craft' (Old English 'cræft,' meaning strength, skill, or cunning). Note that 'craft' once carried muscle and wits both — so 'woodcraft' has always meant more than carving; it meant knowing the woods well enough to outsmart them. The two senses, the joiner's and the woodsman's, have run side by side for centuries.
