thats a great idea..make response videos and show the books you have found to be of use..great way for all of us to find new books we never knew were out there..thanks for the comment..safe journeys
Thank you for your videos. I live in Oregon, the Pacific Northwest and ism going to learn all the top five plants. Also wanted to thank you for all your black powder revolver videos. I've learned a lot from you. And I have two steal frame Pietta revolvers 1860 Army and my favorite 1851 Navy in .44 Cal. Just wanted to say thank you.
Love my library of books. I need to make a list of what I have because more than once I have found a book I liked and when I got home I found I already had it.
Very good video. I have a few friends I have gotten interested in the idea of bushcraft and self reliance, but since there states away I can't share what knowledge I have with them. I'll send them a link to his video and get them started.
The Collins Gem series of books help me a lot, Tree's by Alastair Fitter, (the great) Lofty Wiseman's SAS Survival Guide, Richard Mabey's Food For Free and so on, they're small and easy to put in the pack and much more reliable than a smartphone. Some of these titles are for north west Europe but I'm sure there's North American versions.
great vid, I agree 100% on looking for, and knowing at least 5 eatable plants that grow in your area, and if they have a look alike dont bother learning them. and again 100% Technique can be taught Skill cant. I have a few of the same books you got. I may do a response vid to this one if that is ok with you so as to put out a few more good books, and to share the knowledge
Thanks so much for this. I'll have to check out Tom Brown. My favorite book, and I think you would love it, is the 500 page "Wildwood Wisdom" by Ellsworth Jaeger. It's a how to on everything from camp furnishings to hitching a mule, with lots of Native American inventions/ methods. Up here in Canada Mors Kochanski is our boreal forest guru. He writes guides and also does CZcams videos, very good to see skills demonstrated and explained.
There is zero risk with the top four or five types of mushrooms, depending on where you live. They are nothing like any poisonous variety. Yes, avoiding mushrooms that have lookalike poisonous varieties is not a good idea, but not eating the kind that simply cannot be mistaken for a poisonous variety is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
I am stuck with a small issue. I am tossed with a purchase of Mors Kohanski's Bushcraft, and only because I live in the southwest, a book from John Campbell, Arizona Bushman. Any advice. I value your opinion. Thank you in advance.
Do you smoke a pipe or just collect them? I don't smoke my pipes as much as I used to but still enjoy a pipe or two around the campfire or at deer camp. Off the shelf, I like Half and Half. English blends are my favorites. Not much into the flavored stuff. Corncobs still seem to yield the sweetest smokes for me.
Great suggestions. I would also suggest reading the guys like Sears, Seton and the others from the turn of the century, you'll be amazed at what they knew.
I really like the part about the living generation to learn from...... lots of knowledge that could be lost..... excellent video Blackie. Thanks
