wilderness

I am from New Zealand, and have been interested in bushcraft since I was about 5 or 6. I have learnt a bit since then and hope to use this platform to learn and possibly share any knowledge I have. Thanks for reading!

Don't miss PART ONE of this trip report! 09:43 - Heading back down Sawteeth 10:10 am - Heading up the trail to Pyramid. Time to scramble! Can you find the trail marker? 10:11 am - Looking back from the top of that scramble. 11:13 am - We reached the summit of Pyramid Mountain (4,515')...

I now have fifteen Adirondack High Peaks (4,000'+ elevation) under my belt. On Sunday my friend John and I climbed Sawteeth, Pyramid*, Gothics, Armstrong, and Upper Wolfjaw in that order. The entire trip report will be broken up into four separate posts. We hit the trail from the St. Hubert's...

Hey guys! I just put out part 1 of my kayak trip through northern Saskatchewan. Hope it’s entertaining and if you could show it some love I’d appreciate it!

Hello, I'm studying industrial product design. I got an assignment which says that I need to make a food preperation product for survivallists and bushcrafters which need to survive in the wilderness for a long period of time. I have a couple of questions to ask you. How do you stay in the...

Aye aye all you mad bushwhackers, firebugs, kit fiends, minimalists and shiny sharp object aficionados once again I come to you all with my humble creations of media, again i'm in my beloved Adirondack mountains, again i'm in a dodgy old canoe I borrowed as i am 5000 km from home with nothing of...

Personally over the years I have met some great people, sadly I've also met a lot of total idiots, so unfortunately everytime I first think about meeting new folks for the first time in the wilderness I worry I might be setting myself up for a night with alcohol fuelled heavily armed nutters...

Hi guys, My name is Devin. I have been mucking around in the bush my whole life, and only recently have I brought my goings-on and dealings to the Internet. I am here to both learn and hopefully lend a helpful tip or two when I can. I am from Eastern Ontario, minutes from Algonquin Park. My...

Looking for a 2-3 day canoe-camp, really trying to get away from more popular areas. I would prefer seeing at most 2 other people on the trip. Maybe some small rivers, with no campsites or anything, so I can be on my own. I live in Eastern MA, and would be willing to drive about 3 hours max. Any...

We had plans to check out the West Canada Creek Trail and visit with the spirit of ol' French Louie a legend of an Adirondack Mountain Man but winter has been holding on in the Northwoods and road access remains closed until further notice. Instead @pilsburythrowboy12 @ANFwoodsman @Sbrody and I...

Hi, I’m looking to go backpacking more, I’ve stopped for a while. I was looking for a trail about 30 or 40 miles that I can do in 3-4 days, and something away from the bigger, more known places like the White Mountains. Does anyone have any ideas?

As we all know that would be a hard thing to do, the Adirondacks is an awesome beautiful place, here I am in the 5 Ponds Wilderness in a canoe and I have been alone long enough to be chatting away to my Wilson AKA the camera with no script or plan but somehow pulling off big long single takes of...

Twice this winter I've had the pleasure to join a trail crew in this designated wilderness. It has a big woods feel and areas of old growth forest uncommon on the East Coast. Most of the hemlock has been killed by the woolly adelgid but the other trees create a cathedral-like experience. We...

Hello everybody! My name is Kevin and I live in the Salt Lake area of Utah. I am an avid forest explorer / wannabe hermit. My interest in this group is two-fold. I love the outoors, camping, and hiking and learning new things. Secondly, I am also interested in getting more ideas for my comedy...

Mystery is as real and necessary a component of these mountains as are the tangible elements of bears, rock, sun, trees, water, fern. Rick Bass A week ago a friend and I headed deep into the Eagles Nest wilderness which is nestled in the rugged Gore range north of Frisco. This was the first...

I have been meaning to share these photos for some time, but I have been unable to find the time until now. I hope you don't mind. I was travelling to a family Thanksgiving dinner back in mid-October and decided to make some stops along the way to explore some trails before I made it to my...

I'm not much of an enthralling writer, but I hope people take as much time to read the report as they do view the pictures... Horace Kephart Days Celebration has been an annual event over the past few years that celebrates the life and work of Horace Kephart. I learned of the event last year...
