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 have no tools!

Started the process of updating all of my electronics last weekend, and it has been such a mess that I’m still completely without the tools I use to do Practical Woodsman stuff. All I have currently is my phone, and it can’t really handle the heavier tasks.

Hopefully all will be worked out before next week gets too long in the tooth!

Speaking of Wind in the Woods….,There was a snow storm here s couple of nights ago with high winds. It was interesting to walk in the woods and see the snow plastered all the way up the tree trunks on one side only. Now we know which way the wind was coming and how sticky the snow was. If anyone besides the squirrels cares.
