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.

Publishing Schedule New Episodes

In the interest of modesty (recognizing, and working within my limits) I have decided to publish new episodes of The Practical Woodsman every other week.

I would PREFER to publish new episodes of The Practical Woodsman every week, because I’m just having so much fun with it and it’s a theme I really enjoy and love talking about. It’s almost like play time for me.

However, I have another, long-established, online identity that revolves around things that are even more important; things involving emotional health, emotional disorders, recovery, relationships, parenting, and so forth. A lot of people have come to depend on me to keep a regular flow of content coming from that source, which involves articles, videos, podcast episodes and so forth. All of it takes a lot of work and time.

So in order to be able to regularly produce content for both unrelated projects consistently, and over a long period of time, I’ve worked out a good leap-frog system. One week I dedicate my time and energy into content creation for the one, and the following week I dedicate myself to content creation for the other. In this way I can simply leap frog over each week and hopefully create quality content for both and not burn out.

Thank you everybody for being here, for supporting The Practical Woodsman, and for allowing for an every-other-week schedule! There are so many things I’m looking forward to talking about, sharing, demonstrating, and arguing about on the topics of the woods, and meditative wilderness survival.
