		<description><![CDATA[Ross Gilmore Indulge me in a personal rant, and a rally cry of support for a moment. Ross Gilmore (aka &#8220;Wood Trekker&#8221;), a blogger I read from time to time, has posted something that&#8217;s gotten my blood boiling a bit. His posts usually deal with outdoor pursuits and bushcraft, axe-handling and history, and all sorts [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve wanted to write a &#8220;getting started&#8221; guide for a while, but this post has – like the gear list it touches on – evolved into a direction all its own.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently read a brace of posts from fellow outdoor blogs, The Oak and the Mountain, and Wood Trekker talking about survival kits. Now, the reason I came across these posts was because I was actively looking for survival kit ideas. I thought it was high time I re-visited my personal kit. Given that it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s exactly what your market can do for you — there are people whose skills, hard work, and pride in their craft put quality food on your table, and I enjoy being reminded of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ray Mears is famous for his many tv appearances where he teaches not only survival, but bushcraft. The difference from &#8216;survival&#8217; shows is striking, as Ray attempts to convey the importance of long-term bushcraft and sustainability as practiced by many aboriginal tribes in a variety of different regions. He has always expressed his special love [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking of trading in my folding PakCanoe for a lighter, more maneuverable vessel (I have the 17-footer, but I would be fine with a 16-, or even 15-foot), but not because it has let me down in any way. For any of you who are unsure as to the viability of the PakCanoe [...]]]></description>

I first heard of Pinock in the second season of Ray Mears&#8217; Bushcraft, where he and Ray built an authentic birchbark canoe in a week. They worked on screen again in [...]]]></description>

He makes the point for a common-sense approach to camping, and takes issue with the extremes that some enthusiasts have gone through to erase our existence on the land. [...]]]></description>
