Paul Kirtley's axe book is good. It's very thorough which may feel a bit drawn out if you've been using axes for years but for beginners this makes it idiot proof.

Check out the dump as there loads of scout books on there including some of the pamphlets which are a really interesting read.
I really want a copy of the BSA Scout fire and cooking book that Blackie Thomas keeps talking about.
I was listening to Mor's on Paul Kirtley's podcast talking about how a lot of what he did was work out what worked and what was rubbish. Paul also had a wild food provider who was saying that there a lot of dangerous knowledge out there with people going this old book said eat this and we know it full of poison now.
I really like the idea I have seen of building your own Bushcraft book as you can keep checking info and the latest thinking and add in ideas or even just combine stuff as I have never found a bird book which has every picture you need.

Keep checking on eBay, I managed to get a copy of the same year that he said was the best one, copy, albeit, very battered with pages falling out.
Still haven’t gotten around to securing myself a copy of this, I really ought to. It’s sounds very good.Good comprehensive manual. No colour phots IIRC but very well detailed and plenty of B&W illustrations.

It probably doesn't cover anything new ( not much under the sun thats new ) but its one of those books I would suggest to people if they were starting a delve into bushy/primitive world.
Just received this, a signed copy from bushgear.co.uk. Very impressed, it seems to be quite a bit more comprehensive than a lot I have, plus it’s geared towards Northern Europe rather than the American continent which is a plus. A very worthy addition! Also just sent off for Woodcraft Wisdom and Make and Do the Woodcraft Way by J.G. Cone, I think it was Broch who recommended one of them. I went for the first edition of one and I thing, a 1946 edition of the other, they are both available reprinted, but I do like old, dusty tomes with their dust covers; plus, in some cases, they can be got much cheaper which is always a plus.
