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.

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

A Little Light

Before you build a shelter, look for the one the hill already made. Rock overhangs have kept people dry for thousands of years. Check the ceiling for loose slabs, stay out of the drip line, and leave it the way you found it.
