One of my outdoor goals this year was to explore a desert. I've camped in arid areas of the Mediterranean before but I've never camped in a true desert.

I've used walking staffs for years and rate them very highly.

I consider a walking staff to be a surprisingly versatile outdoor aid for bushcrafters, hikers and pretty much anybody that likes walking in nature.

With experience, a good staff can be easily and quickly made from any suitable tree branch in as little as 5-10 minutes.

EXPLORING THE ISSUE OF HUNTING & BUSHCRAFT

Below is an inspiring 7 minute documentary about a passionate hunter, Donnie Vincent (An extra incentive to watch the video is for the stunning cinematography and music).

I've written an article about Donnie and shared my views on the issue of hunting and modern Bushcraft.

I hope you enjoy the video and article.
