5.0 out of 5 stars This book is awsome!!!!, July 26, 1999

By A Customer

I obtained thid book from my local library when they got rid of it, because I was the only person who would ever check it out. I think it is a great book for anyone who wants to or is trying to regain their ancestrial roots. It vividly explains how to build shelters, tan hides, and even make arrowheads. Personally I love it and I think others will probably feel the same way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Book, November 28, 2001

By	"greebe" (Dallas,Tx) - See all my reviews

This is a great book to add to your collection of survival books or to use alone. i have read all of Tom Browns books and have found them to be the most usefull and inspiring of any survival book around. The main thing i like about his books are that he relates all of his teaching to the primitive ways, and for me that is what primitive living is all about. This book is more than just a survial book, it is a book to help those interested in primitive living to be able to go out in the woods, and live off the land from what he has taught. Get this book, and you wont be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, written from the heart, on the subject, October 19, 1998

By A Customer

Much more integrated than comparable military training. Done from a Native American viewpoint, very heart-centered. A pretty good reflection of Brown's ideas.
