Kid-friendly gear-testing cabin. Take full advantage of the woods everywhere! Leisure camping is great for trying out different types of bushcraft and survival gear way before you get deep into the backcountry, testing out gear you'd like to take into deep wilderness, and a great time to exercise various skills. Leisure camping is also a very fine, social way of enjoying the company of many people who just can't do the harder stuff. I managed to collect a wonderful mess of acorns, enough to get me through the winter. I tried out a new extra-portable coffee grinder, a silicone kettle, various lamps and flashlights, a new camp stove, a new stainless-steel skillet, and a new high-capacity, highly-compact power bank. Now I know what works for me and what doesn't.

It's true! It's true! I once designed and made my own wilderness backpack from scratch. Folks can't stop gossiping about it. It's the talk of the town everywhere! I show you the pack, explain my thinking about it, how I went about making it, the materials I used. Also, things I would do differently now if I ever make my own backpack again in the future.

The "bushcraft" videos you're watching are all lies. All of them present the false narrative that the people doing these things are out in wilderness, and they are not. They are in trees - within minutes of their homes, or a parked vehicle. Where did that fresh beef come from? How about the cast-iron skillet? The perfectly crispy vegetables? The intact eggs? The gallon of cooking oil and pound of butter? These things came from refrigerators or coolers carried not very far. In this exclusive video, I not only burst a bunch of people's bubbles, but I also show you the types of foods (dry goods, root vegetables) that do indeed work for real-life bushcraft cooking in real wilderness, for real. Not as glamorous as what you might be used to pressing 'Like' on, but at least I ain't lying to you.

I turned on some cameras then absorbed myself with packing for a weeklong trip into the backcountry. Simple method for dressing up a cheap Amazon fleece jacket. A video primarily intended to capture the true nature of trying to plan and pack for traveling in woods on foot over multiple days and nights when the weather is especially unpredictable. My interest is in traveling as light as possible, while at the same time having the necessary gear for enjoying the woods fully and getting to do some special things while I'm out there.

Meet the Idoogen 2P Backpacking Tent available on Amazon. It's the same design made popular by the MSR Hubba Hubba 2P Backpacking Tent, with comparable quality and weight, for a fraction of the cost. This Idoogen version will be competing with another budget Amazon tent, the Featherstone 2p Backpacking Tent. While I can't speak with any authority about the Featherstone, I'm pretty confident when I say there's no way it's of superior quality to this Idoogen. Also, I believe the Idoogen tent has a better look overall due to a more handsome color scheme. Overall, this tent has been a very, very pleasant surprise. While uploading this video, I noticed the price for the Idoogen has dropped to be practically equal to that of the Featherstone version.

There are probably more than six cool secret things for the woods that I share here to be honest, darn my humility. Yerba Mate as a wonderful drink for the backcountry. Silicone is quickly becoming one of my favorite things for carrying certain foods in the woods. Specific walkie talkies and my experience testing them. Containers, Gadgets and Doodads. Tin containers, 1 oz containers for spices and liquids. Baking Soda and kerchiefs are must haves in the woods. My new Boundless Voyage titanium kettle. Soups and stews in the woods.

A looky-see at the Night Cat 1P Backpacking Tent. I'm impressed. It has some really spiffy features. Personally, I would be sure to spray her down real good with plenty of KIWI Camp Dry Heavy Duty water repellent,, and I might also go around the seams with some seam sealer just to be sure, but this is a very nice tent, with some really nice design features, at a really fantastic price. The 1P seems to actually be more of a 1P & 1/2. Plenty of breathability, nice double stitching, light and compact. Plenty of space for me and probably both of my dogs. Weighs no more, and possibly less, than REI Co-op tents of this type, while being made just as well. The 1P does not currently seem to be available, so instead of linking to the specific tent, I am including a link to the general Night Cat Store on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/NightCat/page/CDA24FF2-BB5A-4425-973F-EAF19AAC6C46?ref_=ast_bln Join our online community at thepracticalwoodsman.locals.com, or by downloading the Locals.com app from the App Store and searching for The Practical Woodsman within.

Unwilling to pay $800 to replace a highfalutin Marmot Zero-Degree Down Backpacking Sleeping Bag, I began thinking about alternatives. I wasn't willing to give up warmth, packability, or low weight, but I wanted it for as cheap as possible. The solution is so simple and obvious: Layered dress is superior to heavy, single garments in the woods, and layers turned out to be the answer here. I believe I have been able to come up with a 4-season "sleeping bag" that will keep me comfortable way below freezing for a mere $75 and I share it with you here.

All acorns are edible. In this video I collect them, roast them, salt them, eat them, and I even turn them into a coffee substitute, just as the American Civil War soldiers used to do - and I do it in a way that anybody can do in the woods without any of today's modern conveniences. Let me tell you, this was a really pleasant exercise. Acorns, it turns out, are one of life's most overlooked luxuries. This is not just a thing to get by with: Acorns are in fact a delicacy. I can't believe that we just step right over this incredible resource in our day-today lives. #acorns #eatingacorns #wildedibles #coffee #coffeesubstitute #civilwar #shawnee #bushcraft #survival #backcountry #wilderness #backpacking #hiking #woods #backcountrycooking #firemaking #firekit #gear #exploring #camp #shelter #campcooking #practicalwoodsman #appalachia #appalachian

Wild edibles: Pokeweed. It's important to thoroughly boil it twice, but once you do, it is delicious. Finding, preparing, and eating poisonous pokeweed, also known as 'poke salad', 'polk salad', and pokeweed salad.

Valtcan 600ml Titanium Coffee Cup Mug Pot with Drip Pour Over Mesh Brewing System. Too expensive, but high quality, and interchangeable with other mugs. Some care went into the design of the cup. For example, the handle design is unique to what I’ve seen in the past. The bottom corners of the handles touch so that the upper part of the handles maintain space and a better grip in the hand. That’s nice. However, the set is still too expensive, in my opinion. Also, I would never carry a dainty cup like this into the backcountry. It has no bail handle for hanging, the handles it does have do not extend far enough out from the cup to be able to easily get it in and out of a fire without burning yourself, and the whole thing feels like a children’s play tea party set. I’m sticking with the gold-standard Crusader Cup. Fortunately the pour over elements that came with the Valtcan cup work with my Crusader Cup, and I imagine it also works with most any other cups and mugs you folks are rockin’ out there.

Look past the seeming strength of wilderness backpacking survival bushcraft gear and determine its weakest parts. Sometimes this will completely change your understanding of its reliability. I show off the Solar Casio Pathfinder wrist watch, a Hamilton mechanical wristwatch, Keen Targhee goretex boots, the BCB British NATO Osprey Pattern 58 water bottle. I talk about my Jeep Wrangler which I call ‘The Bacon’.
