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.
I hope y’all are enjoying your days off with good friends and good food! Enjoy!

Is it worth the trouble carrying one of these on a miles long foot journey through the backcountry? It depends. Sometimes it is worth the trouble, sometimes it ain’t. In my opinion so much of a question like this depends on what other luxuries you’re taking. Taking this lantern usually means foregoing some other luxury.
