The Practical Woodsman
Travel • Education • 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.

Solar & Power Devices I Currently Own

A brief video to show off the devices I currently have. The larger, more complex setup is of course for camping. It honestly may end up being useful for me only about once a year. I think the much more useful solar chargers for emergencies, travel, simplicity and so forth are the ultra-portable, foldable solar chargers that fall somewhere between 15w - 40w. I enjoy experimenting with them very much.

This brief video should give y’all an idea of what I’m currently playing around with and testing. I have several of these Big Blue 28w solar chargers, by the way. No need for me to show them all off in this video. They’re packed away in bugout bags and whatnot. The one I do show off is a spare that I’m just using lately for testing and comparisons.

Ep 40: I Met Bigfoot on Christmas in Appalachia - Unbelievable Encounter!

An end-of-year campfire story for all you crazy cats out there.

Ep 40: I Met Bigfoot on Christmas in Appalachia - Unbelievable Encounter!

December 17, 2024

I'm looking to start a conversation here as a outdoorsman and a fan of westerns. Who do y'all like? Obviously everyone likes John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. As a Pennsylvania boy I'm a huge Charles Bronson fan and also Jack Palance. But I'm curious if anyone else in into this as I am. I shave my head everyday as influence from Yul Brenner and Telly Salvalas. Y'all gotta watch these old movies and point out the survival mistakes and have favorites. Hint my all time favorite is Lee Van Cleef. So chime in y'all, I wanna hear it. Also we can give something to see maybe.

Practical Woodsman Update

I appreciate your patience with me, folks. I was sick for a couple of weeks, which made me get behind on some other responsibilities, including the fun things I had planned for Practical Woodsman. I could have churned out some things this week, but my heart wouldn’t have been in it. I’ve been working and with work comes the need for some down time. So apart from work, I’ve been allowing myself to recharge a bit before I get back in the game.

I do have some good things in mind for the podcast and other aspects of Practical Woodsman - Exclusive videos and that sort of thing.

But I hope you all are doing good and haven’t forgotten about me.
