More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is the most comprehensive and far-reaching guide to surviving in the woods. Forget reality TV stunts like eating bugs, the "Ultimate Guide to Wilderness Living" provides in-depth instructions and step-by-step photos of real survival skills - exactly what one needs to stay alive in the woods. The book first covers immediate needs like starting a fire, erecting temporary shelter, and finding edible plants. Then it goes beyond other survival books by explaining advanced techniques for long-term living in the wild - using only those things found in nature. The authors show how to make tools by chipping stones, fashion a bow-and-arrow out of tree branches, weave baskets, fire primitive pots, build a semi-permanent shelter, and even tan hides. Finally, the authors explain how to bring all these skills together to live in the wilderness for days, weeks, months, or even years.
About the Author
John McPherson and Geri McPherson teach primitive wilderness living and survival skills to instructors in the U.S. Army's Special Warfare Command's survival school. They live on 46 acres of undeveloped land in the flinthills of Kansas.

This is a brilliant book BUT it is the same book as "Naked into the wilderness - Primitive living & survival skills" by the same authors. The chapters are in a different order and the title is changed, that's all. I only found out 'cos I bought them both!

This a brilliant book. Its written with a great sense of humour but still gets the point across. I wouldnt say it was for the average camper like me, but for anyone who really does wish to be completely self sufficient then I would definately recommend it.

I feel that I had to review this one as I have been recomending it to others for a while now. I gave it five stars, minus one, because of the picture issue. I agree that they suck becuse they are old, but they do what they are meant to do, and that is inform where words can't.
If you want to start from the ground up, so to speak, then you do need this book. If you have ever watched Ray Mears on telly, or read his books (I remember him when his book had Raymond on it) then you know that he can at times go native and make a 'thing' from nothing but what is around him. With this book you can do the same and it is not by Mears. And to top it all you wont forget because to move on, you need to have mastered the basics, but the basics are simple, they just need practice.
And that is what this book is all about, practice. Getting out there and doing it for real.
So if you want to read about it then get the book and a hot cup of tea. But if you want to get out there and do it (in your garden if you like) then get this book and learn how to make the mug for the tea.

useless, why oh why do they think a few old, black and white, small, grainy, underexposed photos of hippies in the woods are going to be of any practical use in any way!. Read more
