The Practical Woodsman
Education • Travel • Preparedness
The Practical Woodsman is a way to share love of the wilderness, as well as my observations, thinking, and approach to what folks today are calling 'bushcraft' and 'survival'. The focus is on what is practical, as well as pointing out certain things being demonstrated by 'bushcrafters' today that are not practical at all.

One of the most epic excursions into the backcountry of my life. Unfortunately before technology allowed for quality videos using phones and other small devices.

Maryland. Minus 8°F. Major scarcity of water. Tried to dry out wool socks by fire, while heating feet next to fire with my boots on. Bottoms of socks AND boots burned out. I learned important lessons on this trip that have continued to inform my approach and preparation for unexpected and extreme conditions.
