Testing Outdoor Tips: Can you REALLY collect DRINKING WATER from TREES?

Most of us have read in various bushcraft, hiking, and survival manuals that you can collect water by sealing tree leaves in a plastic bag, and letting the tree's natural transpiration process do the hard work. Is this true? Find out in this video!

Backyard Bushcraft: How ANYONE can pan for GOLD at home in your BACKYARD!

In this video, I teach basic gold panning technique. While it's focused on panning in the backyard, this is the same technique you would use in the field, by the river.

Why would you want to pan at home? Maybe you don't have time to get to the river regularly, but want to practice your skills. Or perhaps you have a health condition that keeps you from being able to kneel by the water or scramble up and down bedrock looking for paydirt. Whatever the case, here you will learn how to pan gold, starting with a pan full of dirt and cleaning it down to the black sand and gold.

Have you ever wanted to learn how to practice wilderness living skills and other outdoor skills, but thought you couldn't because you can't make time to get out to the woods? In this series, I'll show you how you can learn and practice bushcraft at home, in your own backyard!

Monday videos and Backyard Bushcraft

Hey everyone,

I've been working hard, recording videos on the properties I take care of, as well as areas I can hike and prospect for gold. I'm happy to say that I am going to start posting videos regularly. My plan is to release a video every Monday at 3:00pm Pacific time.

As a way to be sure to have time available to film these videos, I am starting a series called Backyard Bushcraft. Have you ever wanted to learn how to practice wilderness living skills and other outdoor skills, but thought you couldn't because you can't make time to get out to the woods? In this series, I'll show you how you can learn and practice bushcraft at home, in your own backyard!

The first video, How to Pan for Gold in your Backyard, will be posted Monday, June 24. Make sure you subscribe to my channel, Badger Does Bushcraft, so you don't miss it!
