Back to the Wild: A Practical Manual for Uncivilized Times

By Alain Saury

2016 IndieFab Honorable Mention in Ecology & Environment.

This practical and poetic "survival manual" is the first English translation of the French masterpiece of living wild in the world and creating a permaculture. Back to the Wild is your source for everything from cartography to hunting and dressing wild game to cooking without a kitchen.

Its author, the late Alain Saury, was a respected author, poet, actor, activist, and artist who created the first vegetarian organization in France. His concerns about human survival in dangerous times inspired him to create this remarkable guidebook.

Beautifully designed and organized, the material in this book illustrates the importance in having an intimate relationship with nature, and it leads the reader back to wild, whether the journey is taken by choice or by necessity.

I see why the library discarded it.

Wish I'd borrowed a copy before buying. Received today, not very impressed. Saw some "survival" tropes that have been thoroughly debunked. And a list of fish names for some reason. Not super useful. Just a list. Of fish names... Hopefully I'm wrong, but I did leaf through the whole book.
