About the author

Born in the Netherlands, Anthonio studied wilderness skills from childhood. Still a youngster himself, Anthonio established a youth-group which allowed children and teenagers to come out into the woods and learn earth-living skills once a week. This youth-group gradually evolved into a school called Wild-Live, based in the United Kingdom.
From the early days, he traveled regularly to a number of states in the USA, Yukon territories, Israel and Turkey where he learnt more native skills while teaching what he already knew. He still enjoys traveling and regularly teaches primitive skills in the most unique environments.
An active writer of articles for various publications, he previously published a book about earth-living skills entitled "Bushcraft Skills and How to Survive in the Wild", which is sold world-wide.
When not teaching adults on his courses, Anthonio has other commitments. He teaches teenagers through various local charities and shares skills in the archaeology department at Queens University Belfast and other primitive skill expositions about how our ancestors lived their lives through demonstrations and lectures. He reproduces a huge array of artifacts for various museums, universities and television companies. On various occasions he has worked as consultant on television and radio programs. He enjoys learning new skills on travels locally and in different terrains around the world.

There are so many ways to make a shelter. The best thing is to use nature. Debris can be your friend. Even snow. You can create a space for the night or build a home in the ground, Laura Ingram style. Build some furniture. You're stuck out in the wilderness. Make yourself comfortable.
Akkermans supplies plenty of pictures to help the reader get a better grasp on shelter building. Now, some of the techniques require stitching. I don't think even pictures help if you're not inclined to sew, but hey, it gives you options. I'm super down to make a lavvu (basically a teepee) but I think that may be too advanced for my first shelter. Akkermans gets into some carpentry too, so basically I can build a house now (in theory). I'm thinking about using some of these newly-taught on my next calling trip. Work up some bragging rights.
