We have spent a considerable portion of our lives in the learning of these skills, and some seven years writing them up. We well remember the physical pains that one goes through when applying some of these skills and the frustration that comes with not successfully completing them. All the little tips left out of other how-to's that we were attempting to learn from. Well, we put them here for you. This book will teach you how to accomplish these skills whether you want to learn them or not.
If you have been accustomed to reading books on wilderness skills that entertain you but fall short of actually teaching you how to accomplish the tasks and skills at hand, you are in for a pleasant surprise. The authors know of what they write - this is not a compilation of other authors' works nor a rehashing and perpetuation of myths. The McPhersons not only know their stuff but also how to present it.
John & Geri McPherson are leaders in the field of primitive technology.They are not "arm chair" primitives but daily practitioners.If they are not "doing", they are gathering materials/learning/researching or teaching primitive skills. This is not a "job" to them.....they live it. This vast experience is reflected in their teachings. They are in their fourth year of teaching these same skills to the U.S. Army Special Operations S.E.R.E. Survival Instructors.
