Thanks IA Woodsman!

I hadn't seen the second book you mentioned before, and will check it out.

Your comment about the metric system is interesting. I find myself caught between the two systems, as I am socialized to use the metric system, but most W&SS and knife-related discussions still use Imperial measurements. I paddle in kilometres but my belt knife has a 6" blade, not a 15.24 cm one.

All the best,

SAS survival handbook by Lofty

Great book. I also recommend Myke Hawke's Green Beret Survival Manual. I found his writing very easy to read & follow.

I am currently reading Adventure Travel in the Third World. Just started it so no opinion yet.

Cool Vid. I'll definitely have to pick up some or all of those. Edibles/food gathering is one area I feel like my skills are severely lacking.

For edibles, I'd recommend this book: http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/Books.Folder/I & H Folder/Id'g & Hvst'g.html

The black and white sketches are excellent, and in my opinion, superior to small color pictures as they show more detail. The real treat is that the author has practical experience with these plants and adds storytelling to make it a more interesting read.

Great video Terry.

I like to read survival books too. But not so much manuals.

"Nino Cochise the First Hundred Years" is a good read , although its most likely Bullcrap.

"6 Ways In, 12 Ways Out", is a good read.

"6 Ways In, 12 Ways Out", is a good read.

Where can you buy this book?

I think the Kephart book is one of the best books on Bushcraft there is.
