Ep 12: Tales & Gear for Summer. Poop Stories.

The Practical Woodsman

Let me show you what I have in my pack for an upcoming multi-day and night excursion in mountain backcountry wilderness. I give you an up-close and personal look at my handmade shoulder pouch for my water bottle & mug set, and I tell you why I had to resort to making my own.

An update about my recent litter of pups. My commentary on some recent positive reviews of the show. Lots of storytelling. Showing regard for water in the wild, and the time I almost drank a city guy's beard stubble. "Biodegradable" special soap for the woods is a gimmick. Grit & Grace. Poop stories and Grand Canyon. Demonstrations of reverence for the woods. If outdoor companies really cared about the environment, they wouldn't be encouraging everybody to get out in the wilderness.
