The Practical Woodsman

You won’t believe your peepers! Backpacking, wilderness, bushcraft, woodsman gear that complicates the woods, rather than simplifies life in the woods. Simplify, simplify, simply. K.I.S.S. Modern technology is fantastic in so many ways, offering so many possibilities. But does most of it really SIMPLIFY the outdoor experience? Or does it simply create more complications? Well, the reality is that both things are true. I get all of the greatest and newest stuff sent to me, and only one out of a hundred items make it into my permanent gear load. Techniques for not only staying alive in the woods, but actually staying warm and cozy in even the most frigid temperatures. Portable solar panels and realities involving them. Hand warmers. String lights and backpacking lanterns. Weight matters, and whoever says it doesn't matter to them are frauds. Are binoculars a necessity or a luxury? "What if" packing. Portable showers.

I'm taking you with me on an adventure of survival into the Sahara Desert, whether you like it or not. Come along with me, I have a special machine that is going to take us back to the year 1994 where we'll watch Mauro Prosperi get himself into trouble. Desert survival has long been a fascination of mine, I wonder if it's a fascination of yours, too. In addition, we'll briefly talk about Lawrence of Arabia and Skeletons on the Sahara.

A fantastic discussion about (mostly) affordable knives, hatchets, folding saws and machetes! Which one is the most important? Why? In what areas do each really shine out in the woods in practical, real-life scenarios? How can you get your own and save a bunch of money doing it?

How to ensure you always have the perfect, pristine camp! Most people rely on pre-determined, pre-made campsites where somebody else has already done all f the work in selecting location, creating a fire ring, picking out level ground. Let's talk instead about MAKING YOUR OWN camp, and the various considerations involved with that.

Also, we will talk about my thinking behind my changes in approach towards the latest titles and video thumbnails of this show. Some may accuse me of "clickbait" techniques, but is that really what I'm up to? Find out the truth directly from me.

This episode dedicated to the memory of Hobo Shoestring, aka Mark Nichols. 

The importance of reviews and the stupidity of those leaving them. Three absurd video types the most popular 'bushcrafters' out there are making, and the reasons they are absurd. My favorite people on the internet talking about the same sorts of things I am, my admiration for them, and the reasons why.

You folks listening to the audio-only version will have to use your imaginations! A backpack loaded with just the right things, food included, that could keep me alive in the backcountry for weeks. Had to unload after a great excursion into the backcountry, and decided to share all of the different items from my backpack with you. Very satisfied with nearly everything I carried. My dog Emerson's first real outing. 'Immediate Necessities' shoulder pouch. The principle of taking important things in threes. How to soak beans on the move. Ingredients vs. Meals. My spice kit.

Anybody giving you the idea that you’re going to be able to build a play fort in the woods and just stay there for an extended time in an emergency is ridiculous. Real survival and preparedness inherently involves a mentality of staying mobile, travel on foot, and carrying necessities on your back. In this episode, I talk about the pros and cons of different types of tents, tarps, shelters, and particularly teepee-style, floorless, tarp shelters.
