It has been necessary for me to start The Practical Woodsman Rumble channel fresh. This is unfortunate, but it was necessary. When I set up the original channel, I did so in a way that made it impossible for me to link the account to our Locals group here, which also created limitations for me as far as livestreams go.
To set up the new channel, I had to delete the old one, which means that anybody who was subscribed to the old Rumble channel is now unsubscribed because it no longer exists.
I apologize for the hassle this creates for you if you are used to watching the content on Rumble. Below is a link to the new channel, which I just set up this morning. Although this may have created some inconveniences for us all, it will ultimately bring benefits in the way I’m able to manage content and share new content.
Please subscribe to the new Rumble channel. I promise it won’t be a waste of your time, and this new channel should be around far into the future.
Gettin’ outta the glorious rain in the glorious backcountry with my glorious dog
I found this video interesting as it relates to conversations we have about the true nature of things, what is really important and what is not, and how little importance some things have depending on the needs of the moment.
For example, this guy and his fellow soldiers, while being shot at would just dump their blankets - the blankets were totally unimportant to the immediate goal of staying alive. This meant later suffering, but at least they were alive.
I think about this sort of thing all the time when seeing guys building elaborate, beautiful shelters in the woods. When you’re hungry and lost, or simply traveling through the wilderness, nobody is going to care about building an elaborate shelter. You’re only going to care about conserving energy and using energy for only things that are absolutely necessary in any given moment.
This means sleeping under a rock outcrop, or a fallen tree, or just trying to get through the night under your sweater and some leaves you scrounge ...
