I found this book to be poorly written, inadequately edited, and virtually impossible to use alone. Chapter three details making a bow and arrow using modern tools and deer sinew. There's no explanation of how to get deer sinew if you don't have the tools to hunt deer. I'm sure there's information in here. . .the chapter on making fire looked like it may be useful if you're willing to drag through the amateur writing. Overall, however, I found the book to be a waste of time and money.

I have books on survival skills and this is the most usefull. This book is priceless. Lots of good pictures and everything is explained very well in his own words. If you are interested in wilderness/survival/etc. this is a must have. Just read the other reviews if you don't believe me.

The authors of this book take great care to write about what they know. The level of effort and the trials of learning the skill are discussed in every case. Most novices think that after reading a particular survival skill, such as the fire bow, they can do it. These authors make you understand how hard it is to implement the theories, and in other cases, how simple things really are.

A good read for anyone who is interested in crafting useful and intelligent resources from nature.

A mix of wildnerness survival and primitive living worth reading.

Tons of photographs, few hand drawings (only when essential) and the passion for wilderness skills is obvious and contagious!
