Yes, I did the friction fire lighting course with Dave Watson, of Woodland Survival Crafts. Top notch, great instructors, very nice guys. And regarding fire by friction, they are indeed VERY knowledgeable. I've taken a look on Woodcraft school's instructor course... very interesting, I was...

I know the feeling... :D

Does anyone knows bearclaw bushcraft? Are their courses good? Considering what's on their website, it looks promissing. Luciano

This is a nice reading. Going straight to the point: Osborne Russell's Journal of a Trapper Preface Journal of a Trapper is one of the most important first hand accounts of the mountain man era. In it, Russell provides a detailed narrative describing the day-to-day life of an ordinary...

You are right in many senses, Leon. And it is not hard to see that there are lots of good info in his writings. Take a look for instance on the articles writen by him (links at the end of the page): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Brown_%28naturalist%29 I just don't fancy all that...

Yes Leon, I figure people must learn from him. But I am sure that one-to-one is better, if you have a good instructor. And lectures are quite different from hands-on experience. The lad can be good at what he does, but certainly he has choosen this format for courses because they are more...

How about this crowd? http://www.alberrios.com/albums/073006/index.html And it seems to be high bucks, too... Just multiplicate. This guy has a following in the US and even some fans here. Wonder if it is possible to learn well in this kind of format.

I PMd you, Feygan.

When the copyright issue is solved, I can send Feygan the .html version (in opposition to the PDF version everybody has). Well, it seems like everything will be sorted out. :) It seems that the days of looking to the pictures of a very promising book and not being able to read it will soon...

I've thought about Abbe... bu do not think he will be up to translating it all by himself. I do not speak Swedish either, was thinking on translating with some software (which we still have to find), and correcting the english of the automatically translated version. Does anyone have this kind...

Been there... :) No Sweden translator on google, I'm afraid.

That make us two now. Anybody else? Someone with a translation software?

Ok, maybe you're all looking this thread because, like myself, you would really like to have an english translation of this manual. I have done half :rolleyes: of the job: I managed to convert the pdf document to text. NOW, if someone has a software able to translate from swedish, it is...

Cheers, Stovie, great project! I sure miss my scouting days as a leader in Brazil. Just some usefull information on the white horse: it may be relate to the constellation of Sagittarius. Take a look at http://www.hows.org.uk/personal/hillfigs/ under Star Connections. It can be nice to let...

Stovie, congratulations! Really nice experience for the kids. I was a leader in a scout´s group in Brazil some years ago. It worked the other way around, though: as many of the boys were of a countryside background, we learned a lot from them. Since then I have been learning some interesting...

This one is dead simple if you´re using small wood as fuel: http://wings.interfree.it/html/sstove.html

I was looking during some time for a type of sling I could make easily in the field, either with paracord or with strong nettle cordage. After some browsing, I found this easy tutorial: http://www.slinging.org/42.html It's simple, it's strong, and it works! Quite well indeed! And you would be...

I´m in Brazil. Never been "back" in the US, but will go back to Manchester soon, so I am glad you told me that before I started to shoot rabbits...

A VERY nice one, indeed!

Here´s an interesting site I found: http://www.geocities.com/blowgunhunter/ not traditionally built, but probably will do the trick for you squirrel hunters. And you can invite me to go along too, when you field test it (never hunted squirrels, but will be back in your country in a few...
