Ultimate Guide to Wilderness Living: Surviving with Nothing But Your Bare Hands and What You Find in the Woods Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great book. The information is top notch. All the skills are presented in easy to follow, step-by-step instructions. I don't really have a problem with the photos either. I do think it's important that people know that this isn't a new book from the McPhersons, it is "Naked into the Wilderness" Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills. The only new thing in this book is the title. All the information is the same, they've just changed the order of the chapters. Hopefully this information will save others from spending their hard earned cash on this book (plus international shipping) only to find that they already have the same book with a different cover sitting on the shelf.

EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT SURVIVING IN THE WILD"During my first years of learning survival I took a course in survival and primitive earth skills taught by John and Geri McPherson.I was excited by their unbelievable passion and their intrinsic understanding of survival.Their teachings took me from understanding basic skills to a full-blown love for the ancient technologies that humans developed to survive.John and Geri are the real deal.They don't just teach this stuff, they live it.I loved the experience with them so much I came back a second time a few years later.Now that I have traveled the world as Survivorman-experiencing and filming survival in every ecosystem there is-I can sit back and watch my shows and see John and Geri's teachings peek through in every situation.I have been able to understand survival because of John and Geri, and can highly recommend this book."--Les Stroud, AKA SurvivormanPacked with in-depth instruction and photos, Ultimate Guide to Wilderness Living teaches you the skills need to survive and live in the wild using only those things found in the woods.Learn how to:•Ignite a fire with a two-stick hand drill•Erect temporary and semi-permanent

How to Climb Series: Climbing Anchors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The big problem with Chockstone/Falcon's "How to rock climb" series is that too many of their books, particularly those written by John Long, seem to contain huge sections cut-and-pasted from other titles in this series.
Alas, "Climbing Anchors" is no exception. If you have a copy of the book "How To Rock Climb", you already have about 50% of the matter covered in this book. What remains is useful, but hardly justifies the cost of a full book.
If this book contained a section on setting up pulley systems, it might be more worthwhile.

Outdoor Pastimes of an American Hunter (Classics of American Sport) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a copy of this original work, it is still as exciting now as when it was printed (1905). The chapter of wolf and coyote coursing alone is worth the price of the book. Read of the man who caught wolves and coyotes with his bare hands (ok he wore a glove). The hunts for sheep and goats in the Rocky Mts. as well as the chase of the deer in th badlands are all brought to life. Roosevelt was a keen sportsman and naturalist, he provides us a look at the American west at the turn of the century. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to know what hunting in the old west was like.

Mountain Rescue Doctor: Wilderness Medicine in the Extremes of Nature Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There is a human side to rescue in the backcountry, and Dr. Van Tilberg tells that story very well. From the effect of our SAR missions on our loved ones, to dealing with the emotions that flood a rescuer, particularly when you get "off the mountain" or "out of the woods". He also throws some very good information about wilderness medical techniques, without being overly technical or distracting. I read it straight through, and now it sits on my wilderness medical bookshelf, right next to "Doctor on Everest". I will be recommending it to my next Wilderness First Aid class in January.
