If i mention bushcraft to the family they look at me odd and go "whats that?"
However, my sis always pulls out the stops for christmas and i got this fantastic book!

its packed with allsorts! for the plants it has in there its quite comprihensive and i can see there's alot to be done with some fantastic local stuff this year.

As usual I got a load of books. Backpack Gourmet, pretty good read but not much I've not read before. In fairness though my library has a lot of books on outdoor cooking. I take my food seriously! The Complete Walker IV. An updated classic. I read my copy of Complete Walker III to pieces. A Walk In The Woods by Bill Bryson. I usually love his books and this one is about heading off into the woods with a reluctant friend so should be fantastic. There are a few other books but that's mostly it for the outdoorsy stuff.
