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.

Ep 12: Tales & Gear for Summer. Poop Stories. (Rumble edition)

Let me briefly explain why the Rumble videos appear in a delay compared to YouTube and the podcast platforms:

I always try to upload everything I possibly can in the highest quality image format that I can. This can be a pain in the hootchie cootchie, because increased video quality formats means increased video upload times. Still, for long-term posterity, I believe it is the only way to do things.

However, Rumble is in its fledgling stages. It offers the very best of the internet because it is committed to not censoring content. I want to support Rumble and I hope you will support Rumble - in fact, I long for the day when YouTube goes out of business and people will first think of Rumble than any other video platform when they get the idea to search for something. I want to support free speech to the best of my ability and contribute to that movement in every way possible.

But the reality is that we ain’t there...

Is it worth the trouble carrying one of these on a miles long foot journey through the backcountry? It depends. Sometimes it is worth the trouble, sometimes it ain’t. In my opinion so much of a question like this depends on what other luxuries you’re taking. Taking this lantern usually means foregoing some other luxury.
