Survival Dispatch Insider Vol. 2 Issue 11: Primitive Living, Part 1

Clean water, a warm bed and a cooked meal take five minutes at home and a day of work in the woods. Issue 11 of Volume 2 is 81 pages on the skills that get it done without gear.

Inside: finding water by reading the landscape and the vegetation, building a solar still, and the dehydration signs to watch for; making a primitive bed from piles, furs and a raised frame; cooking in the coals and on a stick; bug broth and bone-and-gut soup when that is what there is; rock boiling, which rocks are safe, picking a vessel and the steps; building a steam pit and the plants that go in it and the ones that must not; breaking wood without a saw; the sheet bend, taut-line hitch and square lashing; primitive navigation with a sun compass, following rivers, reading weather and finding the North Star; and book recommendations from Tim MacWelch for taking it further.
