Hunting & Gathering Survival Manual: 221 Primitive & Wilderness Survival Skills (Outdoor Life)

I ordered this book just the other day and haven’t read all of it as of yet, but what I have read has helped me further my knowledge of surviving off of the land. I have lived in the country all of my life, with a dad that hunted every type of game. Living off the land is something my family has done for generations. As my fathers only child, and of course being a woman, I did not pay enough attention when it came to hunting. This book is a great way to learn anything you needed to know about how to survive off the grid, off the land, when you’re in an emergency in the wild, etc. I have 4 children. 2 teens and 2 tweens. They have also took interest in this book as well. I feel it is very important to teach our children these type of skills given the current world we are all having to live in. Times are dangerous, unpredictable, and they are crazy. It’s best to have this knowledge and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Just my personal opinion. My book did however arrive with the top corner damaged, but it wasn’t necessarily a big deal. I still give it 5 stars! Enjoy 😊

Bought this for my grandson and it was delivered with no damage and its content he really has enjoyed.

I haven't had a chance to look at it

I read some of the same ideas in the really good books because the tried and true processes and knowledge is.... well .... known by many and used in their books. This book had great information and is written well enough to be captivating and useful enough you'll want the e-book version in case you want to load them on the micro SD cards for your old re-purposed phones just for loading books and maps on for field use. I load these good books on two old smart phones that are no longer activated and an old tablet external storage card. Then when the time comes you need the information, you don't have to have memorized the books/maps.

If you want to have lots of usable survival information in one book, this is a good one. It would be a good first book for a survival library. Plenty of pictures and well organized.

This book covers a ton of topics, it's more detailed than I expected and I'm very impressed. I highly recommend it, especially since its not that expensive to begin with.I bought this book because of my writing more so than for actually surviving outdoors. Many survival books start with the type of equipment to use and never talk about they resources you can find in nature to accommodate, this one accommodates with what you can find in nature. Which is good for many reasons; among them, my story is pre-industrial revolution and modern conveniences simply don't exist as of yet.

If you're any kind of outdoorsman or survivalist you'd be a fool not to buy this. This book makes things so simple you could put a pre-teen out in the woods and they will survive.

Nothing new. Just a semi good read. It won't save your life. Don't get me wrong, the information is solid, just not the book to get you through a survival situation.Great coffee table book.

Gives lots of details on useful things I knew nothing about.

Great book with decent details, and excellent pictures

For beginners

This book is very well illustrated, well written and demonstrates the vast wealth of knowledge about hunting and bushcraft by the author. Very easy reading and informative. I went through this book in a few days but the knowledge that I have gained will be with me for some time. Its nice to have a book that is both entertaining and an excellent reference. I also purchased the Ultimate Bushcraft Survival manual which is a perfect companion to this one.

Always on the search for decent survival books and this one is worth adding to a collection
