Survival - WoodsMaster - Urban Master - Cave Cooking

What's a Woodsmaster?

"When I was a kid growing up and playing in the woods I met an old guy who
went by the name "McCaleb". Mac as I came to call him, talked about the old
time woodsmen and many of the tricks they had to deal with wilderness living.
He called these folks "Woodsmasters" because they had special skills that made
them masters of the woods, each and every one of them had the essential skills
to make it on the land. That is the purpose behind this video series... to
teach the skills needed to live in the wilds.... like a woodsmaster." ~Ron
Hood

wilderness more enjoyable, safer and make you far more confident. The videos
