The Practical Woodsman
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.

Documentary Recommendation
If you’d like to see a really good documentary about “bushcraft” and “survival” being a daily way of life, I highly recommend this one, available currently on Prime.

Plan your day around water, not miles. Fill up at every good source, filter it or treat it every time, and never pass up clear moving water because you think there'll be more ahead.

A Little Light
Out here, a little light goes a long way. You don't need to push back the whole night, just enough of it to see your next step.

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.
