Spring Vitals For City Woodsmen

by Winston Hughes on 01/09/14

Have a go-to tee shirt, a bit of camouflage, sturdy footwear, and an awesome multi-tool? Say hello to your inner woodsmen. He's ready for spring, and you should be, too. A few essentials make rounding the corner of dreaming about the wilds to being in the wilds easy as flapjacks on a logging camp griddle.

1. Trusty Tee Shirt

A tee shirt expresses so many things about a man, like his innate ability to keep it simple and keep it classy on the trail. Durable pocket tees with natural pattern accents like plaid and camouflage are essential for any woodsman heading into spring and into the woods. Short sleeves keep tough-as-nails CEOs masquerading as lumberjacks cool as temperatures rise. Cotton construction is a must as nature immersers love natural fabrics.

2. Camouflage Accessories

A splash of the outdoors is always a good thing. Debonaire outdoorsmen never forgo style, and a dapper duck camo bow tie lets serious sportsmen retain composure in the field, or executives hold onto their inner woodsman in the boardroom. Never again have to choose between the woods and the city. You can have both!

3. Durable Footwear

Don't forget your feet. Blaze a strong trail with strong boots. As the seasons change, all-weather adventurers must have easy transitions over all terrains from hardwood boardroom floors to hardwood forest floors. Classic black boots with impeccable construction get you there. Choicest of them all is Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots, which combine tried-and-true materials with state-of-the-art processes to craft footwear which lasts.

4. Multi-Tool

Consider your multi-tool your number one survival mechanism in the woods. It's like your mobile phone in the city. You'd be lost without it. Your multi-tool (or lack thereof) can make or break your day. A fine multi-tool can help keep you safe, create a shelter, prepare food, assist in fire-building, and get you out of jams. Choose your tool wisely. A great multi-tool will have everything from pliers, an electrical crimper, a threaded cleaning rod attachment, a hammer, to a bottle opener. Imagine being in the woods without a bottle opener. Frightening!
