Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
What have those guys got for skills to learn? Are they the sorts of books that you could take on the track? Something to mess with after you strike camp?
I drive the big vehicle (seats 8 in a squeeze). I can't possibly keep up to my much more mobile friends in our insane thirst for Ruffed Grouse forest birds here. I have a bag of ropes of different sizes, maybe even a project (chest beckets). I take Des Pawson's KNOTS book. It has kept me busy for years.

well I wasn't going to preach to them or maybe not give a mention of them to a mate I just thought it would be a new read over Christmas

I've got lots of time for Lars.
This Sam Fury ( coooool name.... must be genuine ) is a new one on me but he seems quite an eclectic writer..
Sam Fury has had a passion for survival, evasion, resistance, and escape (SERE) training since he was a young boy growing up in Australia.
This led him to years of training and career experience in related subjects, including martial arts, military training, and outdoor pursuits.
These days, he spends his time refining his skills and sharing what he learns via his books and blog.

When anyone asks about books, I like to remind them of this thread:
bushcraftuk.com
I don't know either of the books in question, but a quick look at the two makes me lean towards the Lars Falt book and away from the Sam Fury, even though I have no interest in a learning book for kids. Maybe if I had had a chance to look at them in a store I would feel different, but trying to judge books by their covers (and what I can see about their author), an have some doubts about the Sam Fury one. I think it is going to be very basic and rather shallow.
While Sam Fury sounds an interesting and motivated person, his work as an author is a bit too prolific and varied for me to expect depth or detail. I rather stopped counting his paperbacks on Amazon after hitting 20;
A Bushcraft Book collection
there have been a number of threads recently about Bushcraft books and some suggestions about making a list of books which people can look though when deciding which book to acquire next. the following is my personal bushcraft book collection, its not particularly large and certainly not all...

Mr Fury seems well"handy",i for one wouldn't want to mess with him,and to be honest if you were stranded somewhere with him,he could whip the old cards out and morale would be instantly lifted.
Wow yeah I've just had a look at the Diversity of Sam Fury's plethora of Knowledge and as for Fury I don't think his publicist would say that to him, more likely to say lets do more. maybe a festive cook book.
Glad I asked cheers for bailing me out
