Bushcraft Books - TWO OF THE BEST!!!

[@daeholm]

Paul Kirtley has a fantastic youtube channel with a playlist called Ask Paul Kirtley that is an absolute gold mine of outdoors knowledge.

[@getsmart3701]

Yeah, Paul Kirtley is a world class talent. I'm a huge fan of his, he has an excellent website, youtube page and has some of the best courses in the world. Got to give that fellow Mr. Rhyder. Thanks for the tips mate.

The fact is Neil that you should write your own book, because I am sure it will be the best.

I still have my copy of The SAS survival handbook I brought 35+ years ago, I might be a bit outdated now. Many thanks for your video look forward to your next one

[@WoodyAndy]

Two great books there, both very comprehensive 👍

[@pault1289]

Paul Kirtley is very good, he's got some excellent videos on his KZbin channel. Not come across John Ryder, will look him up. Thanks Neil!

@@greencraft4783 As a former student of John Rhyder and the woodcraft school I can attest to his quality of instruction and professionalism 🤝

[@ScottOethatBullMoosePatrol]

Both outstanding books! I was just flipping through John's again last night. When's your book coming out? 🙂

[@robsrealm.8267]

Hahaha, facecraft. That proper made me giggle that one Neil.

Pauls books are very good, I have his wilderness skills. I am looking for more info, skills, possible training.

Good Content as always. The Boys Scouts of America has a wonderful field craft book "Fieldbook: The BSA's Manual of Advanced Skills for Outdoor Travel, Adventure, and Caring for the Land" which is information dense but very readable (the latest edition is 2004). It covers campcraft, woodcraft, field skills, mapreading and land navigation, and forest conservation.

Often look on the Etsy shop and there nothing but patches been after a knife pouch for ages or a cuts pouch anyway apart from that I really enjoyed the video once again

[@folksurvival]

You look a little bit like Eric Clapton.

[@kennethwilson8633]

Probably nice books but who has time for that…Isn’t this why you have a KZbin channel instead of writing books??? Have fun stay safe.

Thanks Steve. I haven't seen it, but thank you for the list, it seems very comprehensive and laced with several items to make good telly! My ten would be: 1) Tarp. It's bound to be wet, wherever its set! Natural shelters require a lot of materials and a lot of calories.....a tarp doesn't 2) Sleeping Bag. A person can survive quite a while with good sleep and water. If you are well rested tasks are easier and safer. 3) Cooking Pot. We can improvise many things, but a pot makes life easier especially for making water safe to drink. 4) Knife. 5) Saw. Safer to use than an axe when fatigued and more accurate and precise. 6) Ferro Rod. Makes fire lighting easier and lasts for a lot of fires. 7) Paracord. Good for shelters, traps, fire lighting, etc 8) Fishing kit. You can put out night lines and be doing other things, it's passive calorie gathering. Plus the line and hooks can be used on birds and small game. 9) Water Bottle/Canteen. Carrying and storing water. 10) 5lb of biltong. That amount of protein will keep you going until traps/ fishing kicks in.
