Primitive Outdoor Skills

By Richard L. Jamison

For people who, if only for a brief moment, feel inclined to leave civilization behind and experience a simpler, less-pressured lifestyle.

This handbook is perfect for anyone wanting to live a little closer to nature. The skills in this book are both practical and fun-they represent a relaxing hobby and potentially life-saving knowledge for wilderness or disaster survival. Written by nationally acclaimed experts, this handbook comprises a broad selection of field-tested skills, presented in easy-to-follow instructions that will help both the novice and the experienced outdoorsman master the techniques of outdoor survival. You can learn the techniques of primitive cooking, surviving in a winter storm, building a bulrush boat, and making sandals out of sagebrush. As you read, you will learn to appreciate the goals of the authors-preserving the craftsmanship of aboriginal skills and restoring primeval nature as a basic source of happiness and serenity.
