Bushcraft Library for Beckerheads?

[Bladite]

Frankly, the new iPad is probably my ONLY chance.
I'm getting old now. All my girls are grown up ladies ... and now a single one has given me a grand-kid yet.
I am WAAYYY over-due.

well, you know, you could simply borrow it for a bit and lose it. old people lose things all the time. i'd lose it in say, my car, or some such and lock it away

oh, they need knocking up? well cough. i mean, is there a new ipad in this for someone?

It's too late. They're hard-cases, every one.

"Daddy, have you heard how great my career is going?"

"Dad -- I just got a sweet raise!"

"Pappy, should I buy a Mercedes or a BMW?"

Doggone Material Girls!!!!

"i don't care what you buy, unless i have to co-sign, and then it had better be a volvo with 7 seats, for my grandkids" :>

Man, the Becker traffic is getting brutal.
Went looking for this thread, only to find it at the very bottom of page four. :thumbup:

Anyway, I visited the used bookstore near work today and added a couple of titles to my outdoor-oriented library.

 

[Bladite]

whacky. my local user super bookstore has crap for outdoors books.

did get a copy of Bushcraft though. there are photographs, and the illustrations are most acceptable. someone commented earlier about all that sucking. seems quite nice, and has information even during a quick glance, that i've never seen elsewhere.

Here's a few I really dig.

I have my own copy of both Sam Thayer books now. If you're interested in edible wild plants, check out his website. :thumbup:

Thanks for this one...

 

[Greybush]

a little dated, but still awesome...
I've got 2 copies, one in my gear bag and one by the crapper....

[Chameleonbear]

I suppose I should get these for my Blackberry tablet... Kindle size with better than iPad functionality

 

[The Warrior]

I hear ya. That's actually my second copy. I gave my first to my son. It had a different cover on it.

Huh, I just Google imaged the book, and they all have the covers shown here. I swear it had a different cover on it.

 

[Greybush]

Not bushcraft but a great read none the less...

and of course...

Found this and it looks interesting. Sorry Tanner, it's full of "chicken scratch" and no photos.

Thanks for the heads up about the Foraging guides John G. I was looking for a book or 2 on that subject and ordered one blindly a couple of days ago. I will definitely check these 2 out as well.

I like this one...I have had this copy for a long time, bought it in a thrift store when I was a kid. The old editions are better...the new ones are PC, not as much useful bushcrafty stuff in them. Mine is a 1982 edition (another reason I like it, my birth year)
