Great informational Read

bobkat09 from Southern California, Apr 30, 2009

Book starts off a little on the hippish side for me but quickly becomes very informational and simple to read. Has great pictures to show examples of techiniques described. Love the overall veiw on primitive living described by the author as well as his simple and easy to understand way of explaining things. Would definatly recomend to anyone interested on knowledge of how to be more self sufficent. Will remain a good refrence book in my home for years to come.Only wish is that in refrenced a little more to surivival skills for western states as I live in California.
