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.

Gearing Up for New Content

Hey Locals folks, just a check in to let you know that I haven’t forgotten about you all. Since I’ve gotten back from vacation I’ve had my attention pulled in a lot of different directions, wanting to get out some Practical Woodsman content but just not being able. We got dumped on by a major snow storm and a brutal temperature drop and that has affected my schedule in different ways, too.

But I’ve got some good ideas that I’m chomping at the bit to get recorded and published, so don’t go nowhere! Practical Woodsman is my priority for the upcoming week.

In the meantime, enjoy this little unedited clip from a first day/night excursion into the snowy mountain backcountry.
