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.

Changing Episode Titles

If you folks notice the titles of individual episodes getting changed again and again, it’s not because of my own indecisiveness. Rather, it’s because YouTube doesn’t seem to want to distribute some episodes as much as others, and so I change the titles to see if that has any effect.

For example, the most recent episode was originally titled, “Wild Nuts Can Kill”, or something like that. After a couple of days, it hadn’t even been seen by 50 people! This got me wondering if maybe YouTube’s algorithms weren’t throttling the video because of the word “Kill”. That’s why I began changing the title several times to see if it had any positive effect.

That episode is now titled: Exclusive 111: Wild Nuts Can Save or Worse

I am with Swerth. First snowfall here north of Toronto as well, an hour or so from his place. Local woods was peaceful.
