This is, as the title suggest, a follow up to their earlier work, Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills. The advanced comes from chapters dealing with brain tanning robes & furs (leaving the hair on is many times more difficult) and the making of a 20 foot long dug out canoe using nothing but stone tools. Also Many bits & pieces are inserted to build on skills learned from their earlier work. Applied comes from illustrating just how these skills could be applied on a day to day survival/living situation. As with all their teachings, physics are shown to accomplish the task at hand leaving the spiritualism, mysticism, dancing and story telling to others.

From the Author
This book was written because on the many requests that we got from readers of our first book, Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills, for more information. We have presented here a realistic, practical, and common sense approach to the every day application of primitive outdoor skills - far beyond simple survival.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A mindbending description of primitive living!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Primitive Wilderness Skills, Applied & Advanced (Naked Into the Wilderness - 2) (Paperback)
My compliments to author John McPherson on his ability to write in a manner that captured my interest on the first page and held it through to the last page. His words and explanations of primitive crafts let the reader know that he has the skill to live as primitive people did. His grammar is a little off key but that is ok because he writes like he thinks and makes it more understandable. Task well done.

good follow up book,
This review is from: Primitive Wilderness Skills, Applied & Advanced (Paperback)
Not as in depth as their first book, which is superb. This is more a book about them building a logboat and a shelter in a field, with other informative tidbits.Well worth having,but not a full instructional manual like their other book.
