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'.

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...

Damp insulation won't keep you warm. Dry your layers whenever the sun gives you the chance, because the woods won't remind you before nightfall.

The view is the reward, but the climb is the lesson. Nobody ever learned anything standing at the overlook.
