Lessons of survival and preparedness from Hurricane Helene, which walloped us very hard in Appalachia. Radios, walkie-talkies, HAM. Reasons every preparedness strategy must revolve around mobility on foot. Are you an older person, up in age? This doesn't necessarily mean that preparedness for foot travel is automatically out of the question. My experience with Hurricane Jeanne in Siesta Key, FL back in 2004. The silliness of many "survival" guys building their strategies around play forts in the woods. Abandoning your car or truck. Donkeys & mules and their superiority over off-road vehicles. Getting trapped on top of mountains, or down in hollers. Baofeng radios.

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.

The Practical Woodsman Podcast Episode 33 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.

Happy to have you here for the very first episode of The Practical Woodsman podcast. What will it become? Who knows? But ain't it exciting to be at the beginning of something new! In this episode, we talk about the lies that 'bushcrafters' and 'survivalists' are telling you on an everyday basis, and why these things are lies. Also, I explain why I came up with the idea for The Practical Woodsman, as well as the direction I have planned for it moving forward. An introduction to me. My upbringing deep in the Appalachian woods gave me intimacy and love for the backcountry. The Practical Woodsman is a way for me to share that love with you, as well as my observations, thinking, and approach to what folks today are calling 'bushcraft' and 'survival'. While I enjoy viewing other channels related to this sort of thing, much of it is impractical for any real scenario in the wilderness, and therefore pointless. The Practical Woodsman's focus is on what is practical, as well as pointing out certain things being demonstrated by 'bushcrafters' today that are not practical at all. This first episode is dedicated fondly to Ricardo Nagualero. This show will be available in video format on both YouTube and Rumble, as well as additional video types. There will be three different content formats for The Practical Woodsman: 1. ADVENTURES will feature me out in the woods doing the sorts of things we talk about here. 2. SHORTS will be short videos featuring different gear. 3. The Practical Woodsman podcast (known as 'episodes') will be episodes of this show, available in both video and audio-only formats.

Why practicing bow-drill fires is impractical and silly in most cases. The true nature of most true survival situations. Why emphasis on catching wild game in true survival situations is ridiculous. Five practical tips for how to normalize the idea of eating bugs for yourself, and why this is important. The basic items I always carry in my right pocket. Knots are cool and never-ending, yet you only realistically need to learn three or four of them, total. The principle of never entering the woods without multiple ways to start fires. Why getting into the habit of always having a few simple tools on you is much more practical than practicing skills you’re never going to use out of true necessity. Why learning the basic principles of things is often better than lots of details. I don’t depend on water filters, I’ll tell you the reason why and what I depend on, instead. We’ll talk about mezcal and John The Baptist. Some of the gear you’ll see throughout this video is the fantastic Black Diamond Mega Light Tent. Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Evolution Grip S17. Ektos 100% Wool Blanket 5lbs. Klymit Insulated V Ultralite sleeping pad. The Luxe Hiking Gear Hexpeak 2P Tipi Tent Shelter. The BCB British NATO Osprey 58-pattern water bottle and the NATO Crusader Cup. My Merrell Work Cham 8 Stretch Tactical shoes make an appearance. The kettle is the iBasingo or Boundless Voyage 1.4 L Titanium Kettle. 9TiEDC Flint Fire Starter with Whistle. My pocket pouch is by Hide & Drink from Amazon. References are made to REI Co-op, Cabella’s, Cody Lundeen, and Survivorman Les Stroud, which is sure to put a hair in a lot of people’s biscuits, but that’s ok.

All about outdoor hats for survival, bushcraft, and wilderness backpacking. Do 'outdoor hats' like fedoras, cowboy hats, Australian outback hats, and so forth, serve legitimate purposes out in the backcountry? Or is it all for vanity and show? Is it just part of an 'outdoorsman costume'? Are there good reasons to make a brimmed hat a permanent part of your outdoor gear? In this episode I show off a multitude of different brimmed hats and talk in detail about them: Fur felt fedoras, wool fedoras, leather fedoras, genuine Panama straw fedoras - both rigid and roll-up types - toboggans ('beanies' or knit hats), and even paper fedoras. I show off an actual Indiana Jones fine wool fedora made to the same specifications as the hats for the film Raiders of the Lost Ark. We talk about Miller Hats, Stetson, Hats In The Belfry, and Borsalino. I talk a bit about the Stetson Bozeman Outdoor Hat. I'll tell you all about where Genuine Panama Straw Fedoras come from and how they got their name. It involves a man named Theodore Roosevelt and a visit he made to the Panama Canal.

The difference between hiking, backpacking, and 'camping', and sex with no intention of ever having an orgasm - what's the point? Modern camping is not a real outdoor activity. Wilderness backpacking as an activity inherently includes both hiking and camping. But hiking as an activity does not inherently involve backpacking or camping at all. And camping as an activity does not inherently involve backpacking or hiking at all. Confused yet? Would it be realistic for a character in a book to survive until morning without frostbite if he or she collapses in the snowy woods in the middle of the night? Trekking poles are really, really dumb. A new, regular show feature: Campfire stories! My brother once slept all night perched high up in a pine tree next to Taco Bell. I'm a big fan of floorless, tipi type tents for their superior weight savings, space offerings, head room, stability in foul weather, and more. Two of my favorites are the Black Diamond Mega Light and the Luxe Hiking Gear Hexpeak 2P Tipi Tent. I show them off a little here. Also, I talk about cooking (and more) with the BCB NATO British water bottle and NATO Crusader Cup. There's no such thing as bad weather, only of not being properly dressed. Wind, elevation, temperatures and other considerations. I hate having to make conversions between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Walking sticks and trekking poles do not make hiking easier. The first time I heard of trekking poles, I said to myself, "There's no way on earth people will actually spend money on those things." Boy, I should have known better. Ever hear of Pet Rocks? Which attitudes better compliment the purpose for being out in nature in the first place, and which attitudes further contribute to alienation from the natural world?

Watch me eat lots of crow, admit I'm wrong, and ask for forgiveness. I plead for your help with something I am working on and I appeal to others who share similar attitudes to me. Terminology has been corrupted - why 'bushcraft', 'survival', 'wilderness backpacking' have strayed from the ideals that they once supposedly represented. John Muir. Simon Kenton. Why short-sleeved shirts will mark you as a silly greenhorn in the woods by woodsmen. Stinging nettle. Why the Appalachian Trail is nothing for you to go bragging about to true woodsmen (and woodsladies). Join our online community! Go to thepracticalwoodsman.locals.com.

Simplest and easiest is almost always best when in the woods, but all of the messengers around you want you to believe the opposite: They want you to get sucked down the black hole of what is most elaborate or complex. Don't overcomplicate your fires, your food, or anything else for that matter. GPS can overcomplicate things. Not knowing how to use your cutting saw properly can overcomplicate things. Carrying food without considering its calorie count can overcomplicate things. Only carrying food that needs preparation can overcomplicate things.

Nineteen tips for when you're lost. Why burning a bit of plastic is ok. Why 'cooking' in packaging is silly. The wisdom of carrying a kettle. The good and bad about Bear Grylls. Building rafts in real life ain't anything like you imagine. Hypothermia and hyperthermia ain't anything to take lightly, or to walk around thinking is some imaginary thing that only happens to others. The 'heat reflectors' you see all the 'bushcraft' guys building is total horse poopooie. How simple it is to wash out your cooking gear, stop making it more complicated than necessary.

Topographical maps allow you to get a feel for the woods before you ever get out there. I try never to go into the woods without a couple of them. In this episode I talk about how I use topo maps to get a pretty accurate idea of of what it’s going to feel like in the backcountry long before my feet ever hit the trail. Also, I tell the story of William H. Rankin, one of only two known people to ever survive passing straight down through a cumulonimbus storm cloud. Finally, I give a puppy update.

Lanterns are something I really enjoy taking with me into the woods. This is something relatively new for me, since I've gone without one for most of my life in the interest of keeping things as simple as possible. Over the years though, I've learned that the right lantern can justify its place in my pack. But not just any lantern will do! In this episode I discuss the pros and cons of traditional oil and candle lanterns compared to modern battery lanterns for the woodsman who is traveling on foot. I also get carried away palavering about some personal anecdotes.

The old bushcraft gear and ways of doing things of the frontiersmen and woodsmen of times past, versus the new, modern, hippie backpacking gear and ways of doing things. A true story about Earl Shaffer, the first man to ever thru-hike the infamous Appalachian Trail: Walking With Spring. Cotton canvas army pup tents are a lot of fun, but they're heavy. Modern gear makes us weaker and softer. A true story about Jim Thorpe and the 1912 Olympics. My woodsman hero, and somebody you need to know more about: Simon Kenton. The best book I've ever read: The Frontiersmen by Allan W. Eckert. Shohei Ohtani and Babe Ruth. Duluth packs are purty, but not very practical. I'll give you a new appreciation for your Keen and Merrell Gore-tex boots. Maps vs. GPS. I introduce you to Emerson & Barley, my pups. Batteries vs. rechargeables, power banks and solar chargers. (Don't be carrying devices that require different battery types, or batteries that are not standard.) Don't alienate yourself, or block yourself, from experiencing a true intimacy with the natural world by using gear that prevents it. A hybrid system and approach is best.

Getting by in the woods with less. The art of doing without. Distinguishing luxuries from true necessities. More talk about the fake, play-pretend 'bushcrafters' out there. The Bear Grylls Bullcrap Effect. What being out in real backcountry or wilderness really means. Learning to play the Cost/Benefit game. Leaving one reality for another. Stories about how I did so much with so little while growing up in the Appalachian woods. Surviving for real with wild edibles and even a goose egg. A big discussion about coffee in the woods. Learning to go without stools, chairs, stoves, sleeping pads and more. Mr. Princess-Poo and his pajamas, sleeping mask, and audiobooks. Using rum to power an alcohol stove.

All about solar chargers, solar panels, power banks, everything you need to take into consideration and be aware of. Different types, different styles. The ones that perform well and why, and the ones that perform poorly, and why. The proper way to use a solar charger and the wrong way. The absolute best portable solar charger on the market that I know of. Watch me test out several different types: Flexsolar 20W Solar Charger, Flexsolar 40W Solar Charger, BigBlue 28W Solar Charger, Libra 40W Solar Charger, various solar power banks. Building redundancies into your approach to things - expect gear to fail on you and plan accordingly.

Coming down with the flu is rough when you're at home and have all comforts within easy reach. What about when you're alone, thirty miles in the backcountry, in the wintertime? What to do then?

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.
