This review is from: Mountainman Crafts and Skills: A Fully Illustrated Guide to Wilderness Living and Survival (Paperback)
I was somewhat disappointed in the book Mountainman Crafts and Skills,because I already knew most of the material that they covered. Although I think that the book would be great for someone just starting out learning these skills. It was a refresher course for me.

By "hawksshadow" (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mountainman Crafts & Skills (Paperback)
This book is full of information from fire-making to tanning hides to making coon skin hats. This would be a good book for camping to. This is exactly the book I've been looking for!
