I wanna add my $.02 too. I think bc is more controled, so if you fail you just loose your pride and stop by wendy's on the way home. Where as survival is different, many thinks have already failed or are missing (transportation, shelter, navagation, physical health and/or well being, equptiment, etc.) therefore you musty make good with what you got(knowlage enviroment, and tools) , and if you fail you are at greater risk of serous injury or death. bushcraft is more of a hobby, but can teach you an invauable set of skills that just may save your little backside on day.
