Format:Paperback
This book is quite good, but lacks colour photographs and easy to follow step by step diagrams. However it makes up for this by such a diversity of primitive crafts such as coracle and canoe construction. A great book, if you already have some background knowledge.

Highly Recommended by a Paleotechnologist!!!
18 April 2004
Format:Paperback
This book together with the first book: A Book of Earth Skills from the same author, will show you nearly everything you need to know on primitive technology.
Buy the " Naked into the Wilderness" books written by the McPhersons as well and your library on the subject is complete.
No better books available then these four!!

The Books that keep on giving
18 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
I recently purchased Primitive Tech. and Primitive Tech II as a set. The information found in these books are priceless! These two books alone could keep you busy this life time and into the next. A great foundation of resourses into learning to live with the land and the resourses that are found around you. Just the historical aspect of the books are worth a read!

Quality.
27 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I work in the outdoor education and primitive technology field and can personally account for the quality instruction offered by many of the authors in this work. I am a contributing writer to the Bulletin of Primitive Technology and am proud to be a part of the preservation and proliferation of ancient skills and wisdom. Less for the "survival situation" -- though certainly important! -- and moreso for the honest self-reflection found within the integrity of these arts, I recommend the study of earthskills.
