Survival Dispatch Insider Vol. 3 Issue 1: Primitive Living, Part 2

The second half of the primitive skills course, and the biggest issue yet at 104 pages. You learn this while you are warm, fed and dry, not after the boat tips over.

Inside: making a gypsy well for clean water; folding a berry bucket and a coolamon from bark; cooking a full meal in the coals; building a forge, making a chisel and a tripod; coal burning; primitive pottery and firing it; hide work from scraping to stretching to smoking, case-skinning small game, and making your own moccasins; making a bow, preparing arrow shafts and adding points; the prusik, blood knot, double sheet bend, sheepshank, two half hitches and barrel hitch; making bone tools; peg snares, fixed snares and squirrel pole snares, with wild bait and the safety rules; wild plants including the Indian strawberry; and Tim MacWelch's book picks for the next step.
