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.

We ain’t done with the acorns yet! I’ve been working all this week on demonstrating a full guide to acorns. I hope to have the video ready for viewing by the end of the week. I promise you’ll learn some cool things. Subscribe to THE PRACTICAL WOODSMAN on YouTube or Rumble to be able to see the full video when it’s available.

Gettin’ into Amateur Radio (Radio Recommendation, Outstanding Deal!)

Baofeng K63… I forgot to mention in the video that the battery has a USB-C charge port, so it can be easily recharged in the backcountry with a power bank or a solar charger. Also, the battery allows for something like 12 hours straight usage, and 22 hours monitoring.

I’ve been using AI to answer all my questions and learn these radios. Here is some of my conversations with my good ol’ buddy ‘Chatty’ George P. Tooley (some call him ChatGPT) for your benefit and so you can see where I started and how I began to learn the ins and outs.

——-

On your Baofeng radio screen, the two sets of numbers you see represent two different frequency channels, and here’s how they function:

Top Frequency (Display A):
• In your photo: 155.725
• This is the active transmitting/receiving frequency when you’re on “A” (upper) channel.
• It is usually the main frequency you’re using to talk or listen unless you switch to the other.

Bottom Frequency (Display B):
• In your photo: 471.665
• This is a second frequency you can monitor or switch to quickly.
• It’s handy for dual watch or dual standby — the radio can listen to both frequencies and let you know when activity occurs on either.

Key Differences in Purpose:

Function Top Frequency (A) Bottom Frequency (B)
Primary Use Active/Selected channel Secondary or standby channel
