Bushcraft 101: A Field Guide to the Art of Wilderness Survival

Product Information

Statt dem Leser zu erklären, wie man ein spezielles Feuer für "Grubenschmieden" baut, würde ich lieber mehr als einen Stichpunkt zum Thema sicherer und verantwortungsbewusster Umgang mit Feuer sehen.

Ich habe dann aber sicherlich keine Tellerfalle aus Industriestahl dabei oder eine der anderen Gerätschaften, die beschrieben werden. Etwas, was mir noch aufgefallen ist: Mehr als einmal liest sich das Buch, als würde Dave Canterbury Ausrüstung verkaufen wollen. It definitely is a field guide, as the title states, since it doesn't go into too much detail, but gives you the basics.The author not only explains the hows of the skills, tools, materials, and methods he presents, but the whys as well. Canterbury is legit, that said this is not enough to survive if you got dropped in the middle of nowhere with nothing.

Like I said earlier this book is a very good place for starters to learn about bushcraft and the valuable information that comes with it. The reason I really like it is because it is full of things that we can try out during out camping trip next month. A castor mound set for trapping beaver is perhaps a bit outside of the scope of what this book needed to be.The book I read was Bushcraft 101: A Field Guide to the Art of Wilderness Survival written by Dave Canterbury. Perhaps an interactive playlist could accompany the text(s) and have those listed in the book next to key concepts that require demonstration. BUT he has great survival skills and great techniques that I have retained and will use in my future. I haven't read many on the topic, so I'm not going to pretend like an authority in my review, but I have strapped on a pack and been on a few intermediate excursions.

Unless you're planning to get very lost on purpose, I don't think most people picking up a 101 guide are in the headspace to go for raccoon stew. It based on Canterbury's Five C's of Survivability - Cutting Tools, Covering Elements, Combustion devices, containers and cordage. This valuable guide offers only the most important survival skills to help you craft resources from your surroundings and truly experience the beauty and thrill of the wilderness.While others will pack in a wide variety of modern camping equipment such as nylon tarps and hammocks, synthetic sleeping bags and lightweight pots and use bushcraft skills to make their stay more interesting or comfortable. If you think that maybe Raisinettes grow in the woods, this primer might prove useful as it touches on pretty much everything to which the title refers. I believe that I now have a grasp of some of the basics and have increased my chances of living off of the natural resources of the wilderness.

This may have been a liability issue more than anything, since identifying edible plants is hard and making mistakes can be fatal, but I don't know what to tell you, trapping a raccoon doesn't sound super safe either.Ein kleineres Kapitel über Jagd und ein größeres Kapitel über essbare Pflanzen wäre meiner Ansicht nach sinnvoll gewesen.
