Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills: Naked into the Wilderness Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hands down this is the best survival book anywhere. The difference between this book and the majority of survival skills books is that most books will talk about why you should make a waterproof shelter and discuss the building of a waterproof shelter, but they won't tell you EXACTLY HOW to build it. If you read this book, you will be able to tan buckskin, construct baskets, make primitive pots, make effective and simple bows, make cordage, construct semi-permanent shelters, flintknapp basic tools, start fires from natural materials and much more.
This book is not about "surviving," rather it's about "thriving" in a wilderness situation. The McPhersons have written the best and easiest to read book you can find anywhere.
We liked this book so much we made it the book of the month at RFS Online for August 1999.

The Treehouse Diaries: How to Live Wild in the Woods Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best book I have read in a long time, I read it within a few days which is fairly uncommon for me.
The writing style allows you to feel like you are right there with him, through the ups and downs.
This book is full of great recipes using foraged food and wild game, including recipes for nettle beer, cider, and other alcoholic beverages.
Nick (the author) has a vision to escape the hustle and bustle of London, and decides to take the rest of his money and build a tree house in the middle of the woods in England.
There are a number of tips throughout the book that range from how to identify wild plants/ mushrooms, how to skin and gut a rabbit,food preservation techniques, building furniture and a wood burning stove, outdoor ovens, to detailed plans plans for the tree house construction, and more.
I'm a 31 year old man with 2 small children, an adventure like this is not entirely possible for me, but it was fun to be a part of this adventure, and I found valuable inspiration throughout the book.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an escape for the routine of everyday modern life.
