Product Description

Anyone eager to master survival skills for outdoor vacations, or simply to find a fun new family activity for a Saturday afternoon, will be educated and inspired by the practical advice presented here by archaeologists, anthropologists, primitive practitioners, craftsmen, and artisans. These experts help modern readers rediscover the skills that have served humanity for millennia: fire-making, camp cooking, basket weaving, pottery making, animal tracking, and much more. You can even learn how to turn seashells into arrowheads or make glue from yucca plants. Plus, there’s intriguing information on the benefits of a hunter-gatherer diet. More than just a how-to, this handbook provides inspiration to live life to the fullest.

Buyer Beware!5
I preordered this book and awaited it's arrival with great interest. I received it today. Make no mistake, this is an excellent book. The problem lies in the fact that it is a complete reprint of their book, Woodsmoke. With the exception of perhaps 4 pictures, it is identical to Woodsmoke, which I already have.

Now if you don't already own Woodsmoke, then buy it, but if you do, don't waste your money.

Not for me2
Thought this would be neat. Not. This might interest some survival nut but it is not what I was looking for.
