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.

What if we humans hibernated every winter in the woods?

Watching this movie tonight (free with commercials on FandangoAtHome.com) called The Human Hibernation. It’s an exploration about what it might be like if human’s hibernated every winter out in the woods like certain animals do.

Spring comes around and people come crawling out of holes and burrows in the woods. They live spring to fall just like normal, but then late fall comes and they all return to hibernation. It’s slow, thoughtful, fascinating, poetic. The imagery and camera work is incredible. Almost every shot could be a photograph. The natural world is highlighted strongly.

It’s probably not for everybody, because there’s no real A - B story. But I find it captivating. Just gotta be willing to put your tablet or phone aside for an hour and a half to really appreciate it.
