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'.

He has purposefully chosen to hide those supplies and not show them to you. Why? Because the truth ain’t as impressive as the lie.

So just to be clear:

1. Anybody building these sorts of shelters on the internet are doing so on their own property or on a friend’s property. (Can’t get away with it in a park, reserve, or state wilderness area. Too much trouble, time, and actual work to get far enough back into the woods where you won’t get caught.) This means that in ANY video you see like this, there’s a physical residence just up the hill that either belongs to the maker of the video or his friends.
