Sonnewald Natural Foods is collaborating with Chad Redding to host a monthly Walk with a Woodsman series in 2023.

Redding is the proprietor of Ruck Rabbit Outdoors, which supplies an assortment of crafted, curated, refurbished and surplus outdoor gear.

 

Monthly topics include Firecraft—firewood selection, processing, tool use and more; Wild Teas—collecting, identification and brewing; Sheltercraft, low-impact shelters for emergency and camping, tarp pitches and ridgeline concepts; Emergency Bundle Bow build demo; Water Gathering—handling and filtration; and Camp Lighting.
