Primitive Wilderness Skills, Applied & Advanced

by John McPherson

This is, as the title suggest, a follow up to their earlier work, Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills. The advanced comes from chapters dealing with brain tanning robes & furs (leaving the hair on is many times more difficult) and the making of a 20 foot long dug out canoe using nothing but stone tools. Also Many bits & pieces are inserted to build on skills learned from their earlier work. Applied comes from illustrating just how these skills could be applied on a day to day survival/living situation. As with all their teachings, physics are shown to accomplish the task at hand leaving the spiritualism, mysticism, dancing and story telling to others.

This is the practicum book that goes with the book on all true primitive technologies.

I could write more, but in one word: Perfect!

This is a great wilderness survival how to book. I read it back to back with the first one and am looking forward to putting the ideas in it into practice.
