Format:Paperback
This book contains similar 'skills' to the 'Wilderness survival' book from the author. It goes into some topics such as pottery, buckskin, bow making and shelter in more detail but possibly not enough detail for each individual topic and it REALLY is taylored to the American market ie) a lot of stuff would be of little use in our climate.
It is a combination of Toms views and a bit of practical guidance. If you want two pages on how you should talk to the tree, ask its permission, re-assure it that its wood will be used respectfully before you cut it down you might like this book.
If you want to learn more advanced 'bushcraft skills' get (or stick with) Tom Brown Jrs field guide to wilderness survival.
If you require greater detail on any of the other topics ie) tracking, brain tanning or bow making I would advise looking to more specialised books on the particular topic.
All said and done, If you want a 'bushcraft book' written from a 'respectfull to nature' and Native American approach with a good insite into some of the skills (and happen to be a Tom Brown Jr fan) then this is a good book. If you just want a book to specifically teach you individual skills in great depth, look elsewhere.

Much more integrated than comparable military training. Done from a Native American viewpoint, very heart-centered. A pretty good reflection of Brown's ideas.

This book is awsome!!!!
27 July 1999
Format:Paperback
I obtained thid book from my local library when they got rid of it, because I was the only person who would ever check it out. I think it is a great book for anyone who wants to or is trying to regain their ancestrial roots. It vividly explains how to build shelters, tan hides, and even make arrowheads. Personally I love it and I think others will probably feel the same way.

Outstanding Book
28 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
This is a great book to add to your collection of survival books or to use alone. i have read all of Tom Browns books and have found them to be the most usefull and inspiring of any survival book around. The main thing i like about his books are that he relates all of his teaching to the primitive ways, and for me that is what primitive living is all about. This book is more than just a survial book, it is a book to help those interested in primitive living to be able to go out in the woods, and live off the land from what he has taught. Get this book, and you wont be sorry.
