Needing a few reference books and I am leaning to these three.
-The Bushcraft Field Guide to Trapping, Gathering, and Cooking in the Wild -Bushcraft 101: A Field Guide to the Art of Wilderness Survival -Advanced Bushcraft: An Expert Field Guide to the Art of Wilderness Survival I am hoping these three will give me a good reference guide to what I will need, because in the next montu or so my life will be depending on them and if they are crap Id like to know. |

My sense of Dave Canterbury is that he's a genuinely good dude and a good instructor. I own three of his books and there's a lot of overlap with other established knowledge. The BSA Handbook, Field Books and guys like Kephart and Nessmuk were both around long before Dave Canterbury, but he generally does credit them when it's due.
To a fairly seasoned outdoorsman, some of his material will seem outdated. For example, I'm pretty sure he produced his entire series of hammock videos without mentioning underquilts or structural ridgelines. He's an incredible resource for areas I'm new at, like blacksmithing and trapping. |

Dave also has a YouTube channel.

If it wasn't for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all.

I'm a fan of Dave's teachings. I have only one of his books, the trapping/ cooking book. from what I understand his 101 is pretty basic. I have Mors book Bushcraft, and it's a textbook of wilderness living.
Kepharts books are available online and are also a great read. |
