just so you know (especially as a young'un in woodsrunnin) as someone who has more decades in the woods around the US, it is far more advantageous for you to know what to stay away from in a lot of areas as that list is smaller and much more deadly. Having said that I think you did a good job of videoing this book. You will find a lot of authors who multiple books overlapping info will reiterate parts of other tomes of theirs. All in all you did good, so please keep up the good work. 'stay safe keep warm have fun and whittle to keep your sanity'. ol greybeard dino ; - ) >
One thing I forgot to mention is that this book is not available on Kindle, though I wish it was. I have a Kindle Paperwhite and love it for learning bushcraft because I can pack many books into only a few ounces :)
Most of the techniques can still apply. The plants and materials are just different. Good luck! Maybe you should start an Australian bushcraft channel?
I have always been the proponent of the idea that any word , in context , when you grasp the righter's intent , has no incorrect spelling . Spelling becomes irrelevent if you know what they mean ! A pompous technicality .
Mostly good books, but I really, really, really hope no one goes out and tries to trap animals based on this book. If they do, a lot of animals are going to suffer needlessly. You simply can't learn trapping from a book. You really can't learn most of these things from a book. But as fr why many things are in this book, it is not a sequel, it's the only one of the three books many, many people will buy. None of these books interests me very much. I learned all of this while still a teenager. But I know a bunch of people who have no use for the other two books, but that could use this one because it has detailed areas not even touched on in the first books. Not putting many of the same things in this book would mean everyone would have to buy all three books to get the information they need when only one book could and should do it. As for aluminum, it's a stupid topic kept alive by even stupider people. There was never, ever a singe bit of evidence that said aluminum causes anything. It was only a theory someone wanted to study. Nothing whatsoever came of it, but nose-picking stupid people won't let it drop. The simply fact is that the average person eats several THOUSAND times as much aluminum in the form of common, over the counter medications that they could ever get from cooking with aluminum. Doctors of every type, scientists of every type, do not usually like to poison themselves, or to give themselves Alzheimer's, but they take these medications, and they cook in aluminum. If you honestly believe aluminum may cause Alzheimer's, you probably already have very advanced Alzheimer's. The one place where I think Dave gets it dead wrong, frightening wrong, is with the shotgun. A 12ga. is good, but a single shot is silly. Stupidly silly. If you're in a SHTF situation, you have to be nuts to carry a single shot 12ga. If it breaks, your butt is toast. A side by side double barrel 12ga. is not much heavier, but it's two shotguns in one. It has two barrels, two locks, two of everything. I a trigger sear breaks, or a spring breaks, whatever, you still have a fully functional shotgun. People learned this lesson a couple of hundred years go, and relearned it over and over and over since then, but Dave Canterbury is, I think, too stubborn to admit he's wrong. He's the same way about honing a knife. He has to know. that honing is something you do with a honing steel, and means straightening bent places along the edge, but he won't admit to being wrong about something this silly. It's on thousands of UA-cam channels, and even little kids around here know what honing is, but he still won't change. Same with snares. He says you can only use a snare once, and this may be the stupidest thing he's ever said on any topic. Unless you're dumber than a rock, or lazier than a twenty year old hound, it's easy to use snares over and over and over, right up until they actually break. I don't know whether he's simply never been poor, or just doesn't have any patience, or what his problem with this is, but it's a ridiculously silly thing to say. I was using snares when I was ten, my grandpa used them, and many of my friends used them, and we all used them over and over and over and over. It isn't even difficult. Try it sometimes. I guarantee you can do it, even with zero experience.
