Highly recommended,
By Michael Florence (Tuscaloosa, AL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wilderness Living (Paperback)
Greg Davenport has been there and done it. A former U.S. Air Force SERE instructor, Davenport has practiced what he preaches. If you're looking for a book that tells you how to survive and flourish in the wilderness, read this one. Though not the most hyped, Davenport is one of the best survival instructors out there. This is the "Simple and Direct" version of living in the wilderness.

Indispensable prefatory reading for any nature enthusiast,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wilderness Living (Paperback)
Gregory Davenport's Wilderness Living is a fascinating and informative guide that looks beyond merely surviving in the wilderness and envisions the art of living with nature in the long term. Among the many skills taught in detail are hunting and trapping techniques, meat preservation, improvising clothing, finding water, designing shelter, and making tools and baskets. The black-and-white illustrations clearly depict the braiding, trap-building, knot-tying and many other abilities described. Wilderness Living is indispensable prefatory reading for any nature enthusiast who wants to learn how to live on their own, away from the comforts and conveniences that saturate modern civilization!
