Hiking and camping has been a passion of mine ever since I can remember first experiencing it as a cub scout. The mountains in the north country of New England here have been the scene of many trips by me and with my family in the warmer months, as well as years of my trekking the mountains in the dead of winter. No matter how many books on hiking and survival one owns, it seems to be a subject that one can't get enough of if you happen to have a passion for it. There always seems to be something or other included you never saw before, or at least is talked about in greater detail. This Primitive Skills book goes far enough back and gets about as thorough as to diversity as one can get on the subject of wilderness survival. In fact, its better called a wilderness book on living. There is just about nothing that this book doesn't cover, or at least mention in passing on the subject of living and surviving in the wilds of any frontier. From the very beginning it assumes you have moved out into the wilds of some wilderness country and decided to stay there for a right long time. And, bringing nothing with you but a knife and a few matches. Along with the before mentioned basket and tool making, this book will tell you how to make a blow gun, and stalk your pray with it too. It will instruct you on how to make fire from scratch and what is safe to cook over it and keep it going all night. It speaks of primitive medicine in some detail, and outfitting a wardrobe from whatever you can find. And it directs one through the procedure of making all manner of shelter using the bark of trees as rope. You'll learn how to fashion fishing gear out of wild root and fish hooks made of bone.
