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.

Episode About COTS

Hoping to have a show about cots uploaded before the weekend.

I love cots. It’s a shame most of them can’t make the trip into genuine wilderness, because they provide my favorite sleeping experience. But even the really “light” and compact ones ain’t light enough or compact enough to carry 30 miles up and down mountains when there are other, more-important things that have to be included in a pack.

Still, I love them, and I’m looking forward to showing several different types off. One in particular makes my favorites list.

Also, I was competing with the locusts (cicadas). Daggaum, one in particular was trying to drown me out tonight. Here’s a little taste to hold y’all over.

What is your theory? I don't have a dog in the hunt about this, but I was just wondering with 30 or more Bigfoot sightings every year how come no one ever bags one? That is the one thing that makes me doubt. I read the sightings which are full of tales of people fleeing in terror, but almost no one ever opens fire. What do you guys think?
