All you can do is try to pass the knowledge onto the next generation. It is going to be their world whether you want this or not. Teach your children how to do it right and hope they remember and believe. It's a tough call with the tech. When is enough enough? For my first 38 years of hunting I hated the ATVs with a passion. Now as I am pushing sixty, I need a little help dragging a deer or bear out. I still believe that hunting from the back of one is idiotic. I guess for me it is a question of how the tool is used. Is it that much different to use a horse or mule to drag something 2 miles? I really don't know. However, I have taught my daughter how to work on an engine, do service on it and use it responsibly. I think those are good skills to learn. Not woodsman ship but good life skills. She knows how to survive off the land in an emergency (I don't want her dying of shame). She knows how to hunt with just the basic tools, how to skin and butcher an animal, how to use a compass and shoot proficiently. Now the ball is in her court. I feel that's the best you can do.
