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'.

Another new change I wanted to let all of you know - especially my Locals friends - is that I’m doing away with “Podcasts” and “Exclusives” and combining them into simply The Practical Woodsman Show. I think this will simplify things for everybody a lot.

Things were different back when I was offering an audio-version only of The Practical Woodsman and uploading to the podcast platforms. It made sense then for me to split up the two different show types of Podcasts and Exclusives, because I could save certain things for video and other things for discussions only.
