Don't waste your money buying anything else. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe term Bushcraft describes the activity of how to make use of natural materials found locally in any area. It includes many primitive skills, and to these are added modern skills necessary for survival such as time and direction and the provision of more modern camp comforts and equipment. The practice of bushcraft develops in an individual a remarkable ability to adapt quickly to a changing environment. Because this is so, the activity is a valuable counter to today's specialisation, and it is particularly significant in youth training work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author of \u003cem\u003eThe 10 Bushcraft Books\u003c\/em\u003e, Richard Graves, is a member of the Irish literary family of that name.

To achieve this end, he initiated and led the Australian Jungle Rescue Detachment, assigned to the American Far East Air Force. This detachment of 60 specially selected A.I.F. soldiers successfully effected more than 300 rescue missions, most of which were in enemy-held territory, without failure of a mission or loss of a man. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn essential preliminary for rescue is survival, and it was for this purpose that the notes for these books were written. These notes were later revised and prepared for a School in Bushcraft which was conducted for nearly 20 years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As far as is known, \u003cem\u003eThe 10 Bushcraft Books\u003c\/em\u003e are unique. There is nothing quite like them, nor is any collection of bushcraft knowledge under one cover as comprehensive.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49576707326225,"sku":"GOR009912407","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51032220434705,"sku":"NIN9781508981879","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51358191517969,"sku":"CIN1508981876VG","price":11.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1508981876.jpg?v=1759572284","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/10-bushcraft-books-book-richard-graves-9781508981879","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
