If there is one thing, in terms of bushcraft, that I'm just no good at its sharpening blades. No matter what I do they all end up butter knifes...
...so what bushcraft skills elude or dog you and why?
Maybe we can learn from each others mistakes as well as getting a monkey off our backs at the same time haha.

Tree identification is one of my bushy weakness,especially this time of years when there's no leaves .
Knots, tree Id, general crafting, basically anything that involves eyesight
Learning is all part of the fun, practice makes perfect as they say
Knots is one of my draw backs, I just can't remember them when I need them.
At the moment its friction fire lighting done it before but seem to have lost the knack

For me this year I am going to focus on all forms of fire lighting and try to gain knowledge of what's edible.
I used to be rubbish at knots but by keeping a length of paracord in the kitchen and drumming a few useful knots into my brain I can now easily tie the following even in the dark:
Siberian hitch
Tarp taut hitch
Farramond
Prussic
Bowline
Reef
Figure of eight
Oh and that shoe and boot lace one that never comes undone unless you want it to
