Book Description

March 14, 2001
This book is a follow-up to our first, Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills. It is just what the title suggests, primitive skills and "how-to" apply them. An instructional book that goes beyond the first book with some firsts, some only's and lots of common sense.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...You and the children are certainly to be commended for you accomplishments."

Referring to the dugout canoe project. (chapter 4) -- National Geographic World

A new book from Prairie Wolf which will become soon a classical reference. -- International Research Survival Newsletter France, December 1996

The authors live their subject, and their text is full of practical, tested advice for living off the land. -- Sports Afield 1997-1998

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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A mindbending description of primitive living!!, May 8, 1999
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars good follow up book, January 7, 2008
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good second book!, August 22, 2007
This review is from: Primitive Wilderness Skills, Applied & Advanced (Paperback)
This book fills in the gaps of the first one. The first book "Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills" is a must, this book is a good add on. Recommended to expand your library of really good reference books.
