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.

Maidenhair Tree

A maidenhair tree I came across on one of my walks the other day. Its professional name is Ginkgo Biloba. A very unique tree - unchanged for 200 million years. They tolerate pollution and pests very well.
