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.

Bigfoot

This always cracks me up. Bigfoot was a major beloved legend in my family when I was growing up. We were both terrified of the thought of ever encountering him, while at the same time loving the idea of him.

A lot of folks ask if I have any honest-to-goodness Bigfoot encounters (rather than just some made up tall tales), and I do. I once saw him move between some trees at about a football field’s distance, below me down in a holler, one late breezy, summer afternoon, shortly after I had awakened from a nap that I had taken against a tree in the deep woods.

SUPPLEMENTAL: Hillbilly Wash Station

If you have stability problems with your Hillbilly Wash Station, you can add a simple ballast to the front. I did it by stuffing a brick inside a little spare MOLLE military pouch I had layin’ around and strapping it to the front.

The wash station works fine without it, no tipping over. But since I’m using it in my work area, I wanted just a bit more security.
