Barnabas the Bush Craft Bear loves to spend time in the woods. Hiking, exploring, searching for honey and practicing survival skills are his most enjoyable outdoor activities.
Someday Barnabas hopes to write a children's book to teach young humans, ages four to nine, what to do if they become lost in the forest.
Barnabas is constantly practicing his survival skills. He recently spent a beautiful afternoon in the woods doing just that. Here are a several pictures from that outing.
