Short: With My Late Dog Bradbury, Foot Travel Through Mountains in Fall

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.

Two People Dying

WARNING: This is a brief video of two people dying. The wife thought she was taking a picture of the event, but it was actually a video.

I have been in these intimate, private circumstances many times before with my own brain.

Yotes (Coyotes)

In Appalachia they get confused as ‘haints’ or otherworldly creatures roaming the dark woods. Hearing this, you can probably understand why. They make a downright spooky sound in the dark, Appalachian backwoods!

I was trying to share some video of what I’ve been up to for the past several days, but Locals wasn’t being too cooperative. Nothing special, just hanging around in Charleston (WV) for a few days. I’ll throw together some highlights to share with y’all tomorrow.
