"Bush" flying is the same throughout the world. One is essentially operating an aircraft, wheather it be a Cessna 210, Piper Super Cub, or B-N Islander at the limits of its performance capability. "Bush" flying is not for inexperienced pilots, it is not someplace to learn to fly, the penalties are too high. If you understand the performance, then the question is a yes or a no to a landing area. It is the maybe's and the "I might be able to" that will kill you. Determine what you can carry, and say NO to anything else--this may save your life. For those who use full flaps for takeoff, unless empty, they are only demonstrating their lack of knowledge of their aircraft's performance. Remember, flying in marginal conditions takes good judgment. Never put yourself in a position where you need exceptional luck and skills, when your luck runs out, your skills will not be enough. If it doesn not seem right, it usually isn't.
Best of luck, enjoy what that world of aviation has to offer. It is interesting, challenging, and has its own set of rewards.
