5.0 out of 5 stars
good book; misleading title...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bush Craft: Outdoor Skills and Wilderness Survival (Paperback)
i think this is a great book for someone who already knows a good bit about wilderness survival...kochanski does a great job of digging deeper into firecraft, shelter, axe and knifecraft...more detail than you'll find in most places and good stuff for the diehard fans of outdoor skills...but as far as a wilderness survival manual, i wouldn't rely on it...not at all comprehensive and doesn't cover many important basics...don't get me wrong! i really like the book a lot and consider it one of the best in the outdoor skills genre...but it's more for folks who already have a good basis in wilderness survival skills...as far as the "outdoor skills" part, it's definitely 5 stars... mr. kochanski says straight off that space limitations didn't allow him to cover other areas...i would REALLY like to see a "bushcraft 2" which covers other topics, and perhaps more than moose and hares!

Great for me, an alberta man,

This review is from: Bush Craft: Outdoor Skills and Wilderness Survival (Paperback)
I live in Alberta Canada. Mors lives in Edson, about 2 hours away. So far, the information I have read all pertains to the area I am in. I think that you will like this book if you live in the area as well. Shelters and the basic firecraft principles that are shown would translate almost everywhere.This book is not a survival guide, its a bushcraft guide. That means that a lot of the ideas are for those who are interested in putting themselves in a position of minimalist living rather than being thrown into it by circumstance. Many of these ideas and principles would serve well in a formal camp setting as well. If you choose to purchase this book, choose to do so because of these reasons. If you are looking for a survival guide, I would recommend Tom Brown's Field Guide to Wilderness Survival or Survive! Ultimate Edition Both are reputable authors with plenty of field experience.

This review is from: Bush Craft: Outdoor Skills and Wilderness Survival (Paperback)
This book is outstanding. Though written as a book of wilderness living skill in the northern boreal forest, the skills can be applied to a survival situation. The book is well illustrated with clear blackline drawings and is easy to read. Check out some of Mors other articles in The Society of Primitive Technology's 'Primitive Technology: A Book of Earth Skills.' Mr. Kochanski is one of the world leaders in wilderness living skills his dedication, research and expertise in wilderness living is recognized around the world. After reading Bushcraft and his work in other journals you'll know why.
