The Process of Woodsmanship | Video Teaser May 28, 2025

Show notes

We now have all of the episodes recorded and ready to be released!

Woodsmanship: is a comprehensive set of skills and knowledge acquired through experience that allows individuals to navigate, survive, and thrive in outdoor environments, particularly in the woods. It involves understanding the land, weather, wildlife, and biology of a particular area, enabling informed decisions and actions in the wilderness.

I tend to find myself wanting to do a series every year, first I wanted to do a New Hunter Series (Still got some for those) but i found my self looking at the bigger picture. In order to be "successful" whatever that means to YOU. We all need to have some sort of Woodsmanship. Hence why I wanted to put the Woodsmanship series together.

Guest:

Ryan Glitsky

Nick Queen

Steve Sherk JR.

Greg kazmierski

Kenny Kane

Kyle Allen

Austin Stone

Bonus- Code of Silence (a really good tip)

These guys are some REALLY great hunters who have had a ton of success while chasing after whitetails and learning in detail the area that they hunt.

This is the teaser video to get everyone ready for what's to come, because its going to be packed with good information and discussions!
