Committed to providing useful skills and information for the outdoor adventurer

Take A Journey

American Woodlore and Forestcraft is, first and foremost, intended as an outlet for education and outreach to bring people into the outdoors. I have spent my entire life learning, studying, and researching all aspects of the natural world and aspire to pass along my passion with the rest of the world. The wildness that lies beyond the pavement is a fascinating and enticing realm that will accept anyone, regardless of where one comes from. Engage in the journey and find new ways to interact with the world around you.

Go forth, enjoy yourself, and always come home safe.
