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.

Boy have I come a long way as far as not taking silly, unnecessary things, or things that are unnecessarily heavy or complicated!

Grandpappy’s Fish

My grandpappy was found fishing on the bank of a lake by a police officer. His bucket was full of fish.

Officer: “Hey there, old timer. Do you have a fishing license?”

Grandpappy: “Nope. These are my fish. I brought them from home.”

Officer: “You brought them from home? Whaddya mean you brought them from home?”

Grandpappy: “I come here every day, let the fish swim around in the lake for a bit, and then I call them back.”

Officer: “You call them back??”

Grandpappy: “Yeah, that’s right. I whistle and they come back and jump right back in the bucket.”

Officer: “Ok then, show me.”

So Grandpappy calmly empties the bucket into the lake and then sits back and waits.

After a moment or two, the officer says, “Well?”

Grandpappy: “Well what?”

Officer: “Aren’t you gonna call the fish back?”

Grandpappy: “What fish?”
