The Practical Woodsman
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.

I shall sleep in the woods
In the latest video, Exclusive 141, I start off the show in the shower. Some might wonder about the tattoo on my inner, upper arm written in Hebrew.
The reason it’s in Hebrew - ancient Hebrew, in fact - is that it’s taken directly from Ezekiel 34:25: “They shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.”
This was my first tattoo at age 35. I was holding out for the perfect idea. Some eagle-eyed viewers may notice that Eze 34:25 also shows up in some of my videos as a tin poster on my back wall.
