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.

Rut, does this look like a reasonable shelter for about $65US? 4.64lbs. Depends on how sturdy it is. Don’t like that it is more than hexagonal. Hmm. What say the most practical woodsman?
