This long-awaited handbook by the director of the world-famous Tracking, Nature and Wilderness Survival School is the first of its kind. Like FOXFIRE it preserves knowledge that was in danger of being lost forever, but reaches even deeper into the past. It is about the basics. In it you will find much that was forgotten: the most ancient and essential skills of humankind, presented in a comprehensive and usable wilderness survival library, of which this first volume forms the heart.
