Just wondering if anyone has, or has read the Ray Mears/Lars Felt book ‘Out on the land’.
Read some mixed reviews and I’m considering adding it to the book shelf

I really like it. It’s very much aimed at Bushcraft in Scandinavia, that said there is plenty of crossover and techniques that are useful here too. If you want to learn Bushcraft for the UK then Ray’s earlier books are better. As always you can’t fault the quality of his work and photography.
I read some of the negative reviews on amazon and agree the layout is slight confuse but for me it doesn’t detract from the book. Some of the reviews complained about to much detail and ‘nothing new’. I think it’s refreshing to have a books with lots of detail as there’s plenty of basic survival works that duplicate and plagerise each other. The ‘nothing new’ comments are unfounded as again one of Ray Mears’s mantras is his attention to detail which is sadly missing from so many other texts.
