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.

My Grandpa Reincarnated

I think I found my grandpa reincarnated online - which is strange, since this guy seems to be only thirty years or so younger than my grandpa would be today.

Anyway, the guy talks like us, acts like us. “I don’t think it’ll kill nobody” made me laugh out loud, because that’s our attitude as we continue scarfing down some thing we don’t like but that is technically edible and nutritious.

Promised Free Supporter Status

I gotta apologize to @Ghuns @Hepburn99 and @Swerth . After we crossed the 3,000 subscriber mark on YouTube I went on here celebrating and promising to give you guys free Supporter status for sticking with me over these past few years.

Well, it turns out I don't have to ability to do that yet. That feature is for community owners here who are running larger groups than what we currently have.

I'm sorry, I really thought I could just go in and click a few things and grant free permissions to whoever I wanted. Apparently I'm not important enough yet to be able to do that.

But my hope is that you'll all continue to stick around, maybe in time I'll be able to make it up to you.

I’m caught in a two-week black hole of commitments and obligations, so I haven’t been able to be very active here or upload new stuff. But I can already see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Check out this valley. Does it call to you?

We Passed the 3,000 Subscriber Mark

A moment of joy for myself - a milestone - but also an opportunity for me to reaffirm my appreciation for those of you who have been with me since the beginning. @GHuns @Swerth @Hepburn99 immediately come to mind. You guys have been undeservingly good to me the past couple of years.

You were interested in what I was putting out, and talking about, even during the stretches when nobody else cared or was listening, and when the channel was going completely overlooked.

There were many months - long stretches when I simply couldn’t devote lots of time or attention to The Practical Woodsman, because of personal life obligations, so I just did what I could, and it was you three that especially showed me undeserved support during those times.

I just want to tell the three of you how much I appreciate your support. All three of you have more to offer than I do on many of the topics I highlight on The Practical Woodsman, and I am not deserving of your support. I should actually be learning from ...
