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.

I gotta tell you folks soon about these packable down booties. They’re sort of a life changer if you tend to suffer from cold feet at night in the woods. These things pack down to about the size of a single rolled-up sock, go on and off with complete ease, and beat any socks on the market.

With a bit of prep a day or two before, I think this “Squatter” cabin could be built by one man in a day, if you had all the materials right there waiting to go.

The literal leftover taters and sweet taters that I carried out of the Lonesome Holler with me two months ago. I could take them out again with me right now and prepare meals with them if I wanted to.

Now do you see why root vegetables are so amazing for backcountry cooking? They can survive all the abuse you can throw at them, they’re incredibly versatile, and they stay fresh for longer than you’ll ever need them to stay fresh.
