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

Product Information

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. Etwas, was mir noch aufgefallen ist: Mehr als einmal liest sich das Buch, als würde Dave Canterbury Ausrüstung verkaufen wollen. Dave begins the book by laying out his unique approach to tools and equipment – the 5 Cs – the items that are difficult and/or time consuming to produce from natural resources on a trip. I have been learning about bushcraft for a few years but I have yet to make my own shelter, and I'm also not particularly interested in hunting or fishing, so it was a good book to solidify some of my knowledge, but I think Canterbury overestimated what someone just getting into bushcraft needs and wants from a 101 guide.

Written by survivalist expert Dave Canterbury, Bushcraft 101 gets you ready for your next backcountry trip with advice on making the most of your time outdoors. I would highly recommend this book for those that are getting started in traditional bushcraft skills or looking to simplify their kit for short adventures and stays in the woods. It wasn’t a particularly long section and I didn’t mind learning a bit about the early days of bushcraft survival.I found myself using this text to "bookmark" certain ideas that I hope to further explore with other resources. BUT he has great survival skills and great techniques that I have retained and will use in my future.

Bushcraft 101 is a great book from the well known Survivalist and self reliance expert Dave Canterbury.

The way I think this book differs from others is the author's focus on life skills essential to thrive in the wilderness in tune with nature; not just emergency survival skills and gadgets to get you out of a jam. The author attempts to cast a wide net and cover many topics, but he primarily focuses on the roughly 15% - 20% of bushcraft information he felt held the most value for beginners. Alles in allem ein Buch, das es gut meint und für Leute, die sich noch nie mit dem Thema beschäftigt haben, eine solide Quelle von Informationen. This is a very good introduction of what you should expect to learn and know if you choose to be out in the wild. I recommend this book to any man that thinks only they can survive the wild and that are also born in 1910.

Ganz nett, allerdings werde ich nicht in der Wildnis dieses Buch aus der Tasche ziehen, um nachzugucken, wie ich aus einer Schnappschildkröte eine Mahlzeit zubereite. Dennoch würde es in einem Grundlagenwerk nicht schaden, kurz mal zu erwähnen, was das überhaupt ist. Yes, there are run-on sentences, but it's the points the author is making that's relevant to me, not his poetic prose and grammar. Für die nachfolgend beschriebenen Schnitttechniken gibt es leider keine Zeichnungen, nur sehr umständliche Beschreibungen.
