The Inbush Way of Life: Self-Sufficiency and Resourcefulness in Remote Areas

Inbush (also spelled "in bush") is a term used in some parts of the United States, particularly in the Appalachian region, to describe a person who lives in a remote or isolated area, often in the mountains or forests. The term is derived from the Scottish word "binn," which means "a small house or hut."

Inbush people are typically associated with rural areas and are known for their self-sufficiency and resourcefulness. They may live in simple homes made of natural materials like logs or mud, and they often rely on hunting, fishing, and gardening to provide food for their families. Inbush communities are often close-knit and tightly connected to the land and its resources.

The term "inbush" has been used to describe people who live in similar isolated conditions in other parts of the world, such as the Scottish Highlands or the Canadian wilderness. However, it is most commonly associated with the Appalachian region of the United States, where the term has a long history and is still used today to describe people who live in remote areas.
