The Ultimate Guide to Wilderness Living: Surviving with Nothing But Your Bare Hands and What You Find in the Woods

Survivalists of all levels can use Ultimate Guide to Wilderness Living to learn primitive living skills, tools for optimal self-sufficiency, and how to better be prepared for any and all adventures into the wild!

Packed with in-depth instruction and photos, this guidebook teaches the skills needed to survive and live in the wild using only those things found in the woods or in other natural landscapes. Learn how to ignite a fire with a two-stick hand drill, erect temporary and semi-permanent structures, and more with wilderness experts John and Geri McPherson.

"During my first years of learning survival I took a course in survival and primitive earth skills taught by John and Geri McPherson. I was excited by their unbelievable passion and their intrinsic understanding of survival. Their teachings took me from understanding basic skills to a full-blown love for the ancient technologies that humans developed to survive. John and Geri are the real deal. They don't just teach this stuff, they live it. I loved the experience with them so much I came back a second time a few years later. Now that I have traveled the world as Survivorman--experiencing and filming survival in every ecosystem there is--I can sit back and watch my shows and see John and Geri's teachings peek through in every situation. I have been able to understand survival because of John and Geri, and can highly recommend this book."
