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.

I love it when townsfolk rip out their nice fireplaces and wood burning stoves and put in a “pretty” gas burner.
