Note:
Ramsay Plautz is a force of nature. Literally! He has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to navigating survival in the outdoors. Here is what he has to say about his experience and history in Bushcraft: "I have been playing around in the woods my whole life. It wasn't until Covid that I learned what I had been doing the whole time was Bushcraft. Since then I have started an Instagram page to share my journey as I develop my skills.
In that time I became connected with Discover Wisconsin and have been featured on their podcast, The Cabin, as a recurring host. Episodes I have hosted have covered a wide array of topics, including Fall Bushcraft & Camping, Cold Weather Bushcrafting, 4 Season Foraging, and several others."
