Bushcraft 101: A Field Guide to the Art of Wilderness Survival

Product Information

Etwas, was mir noch aufgefallen ist: Mehr als einmal liest sich das Buch, als würde Dave Canterbury Ausrüstung verkaufen wollen. Bei der Beschreibung von Ausrüstung gibt es sehr schöne Beschreibungen von unterschiedlichen Produktmarken und was auf dem Markt gut wäre. Das ist natürlich schön, dann muss ich im Internet nicht so viel suchen. Für mich geschah das in diesem Buch aber über Gebühr oft. Of the two hiking books on this month’s list – buy this one. It succeeded in nearly every way the “Walker’s Guide” failed to. It doubles up as a useful how-to guide and instruction manual for wild camping whilst also delivering a series of interesting segments on everything related to bushcraft. Thirdly, it talks about the things necessary for a longer wilderness living like a year. This includes traditional techniques used by the ancestors to survive like food storage, natural navigation, wild medication, etc.

If this happens, then you may scare away from it. So searching for the right subject is essential. Make sure you are being careful about what you are buying. In his book Bushcraft 101, he isn’t just telling us about how to survive in the wild, but he has also written about Bushcraft art. It will allow you to connect with nature on a deeper level.

The ever popular midwife guide, home remedies, first aid, herbal medicine, personal hygieneissues and how to combat them, medicines and prescription substitutes, and general survival medicine. The topic of this book is three folds. Firstly, it talks about the basics of survival. The very basic things you need to survive for short term wilderness situations. This includes building a shelter, fire, food, water, and first aid. We all need to read such a piece. As we said, it is for everyone and every bad situation. Today, people are facing more disasters than before, and so an essential guide to Bushcraft should be with every person. The answer is, yes! only if you have read this nominee for best bushcraft book. It is a complete guide on surviving based on how native people are living in the wild, the history of how they made their shelters, weapons, found food, tools, etc.

It is a great book and also has a lot of visual aids. The book is filled with clear and extensive diagrams to help you understand properly. Bushcrafting is one of the cornerstones of preparedness and survivability that can be life-sustaining in both normal situations as a hobby or lifestyle, as well as for those emergency situations outside of our control. The better prepared we are for our Horses, the better prepared we can be for the Zebras. If or when that emergency or disaster comes, people like Dave Canterbury and the Amish will be people you'll want to get to know and learn from.

It also has full-color pictures to guide you further and give you clear cut knowledge about surviving in the wild. FEMA Family Supply List–Water, food, and clean air are important things to have if an emergency happens. Each family or individual’s kit should be customized to meet specific needs, such as medications and infant formula. It should also be customized to include important family documents. If you are ever abandoned in the wild with nothing but your will to survive, do you think you will make it out alive? One area I didn’t enjoy was the long section on trapping. I’ve never liked traps due to their indiscriminatory nature. (Despite the author’s protest that you can weight the springs differently or use a variety of baits to target specific animals – I wasn’t sold.) I think they’re quite cruel and I didn’t want to read too deeply into it. But if this is something that interests you, the section is as well written and diagramed as the rest.

While useful, this book suffers because the author knows too much to effectively write a 101 guide. I have been learning about bushcraft for a few years but I have yet to make my own shelter, and I'm also not particularly interested in hunting or fishing, so it was a good book to solidify some of my knowledge, but I think Canterbury overestimated what someone just getting into bushcraft needs and wants from a 101 guide.Sound information and best practices on maintaining hygiene and sanitationin a disaster scenario. PDFs on Knot Tying (16) Im Großen und Ganzen ist der Inhalt nicht schlecht, ist für mich als langjährigen Pfadfinder sehr oberflächlich. Als Grundlagenbuch mag das aber taugen, wobei ich den Fokus manchmal anders gewählt hatte. Statt dem Leser zu erklären, wie man ein spezielles Feuer für "Grubenschmieden" baut, würde ich lieber mehr als einen Stichpunkt zum Thema sicherer und verantwortungsbewusster Umgang mit Feuer sehen. Many of us are familiar with firearms, gun safety, self defense, or even have our concealed carry permits. But military life lends itself to a particularly intense set of circumstances that most civilians will never know.
