Have you ever been concerned about a potential nightmare scenario where you were stranded in the woods? As much as we would hope not to think of such a situation, anyone that enjoys excursions into the great outdoors needs to learn basic wilderness survival skills. These basic skills could help you make through a very tough scenario.

These skills are not always easy. The fine points need to be explained to you so that you clearly understand how to develop such skills. This is where the fine work Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills: Naked into the Wilderness by John McPherson proves to be a great help. While several books out there claim to provide a clear insight into this subject, they falter when it comes to delivering such an insight. With McPherson’s material, you get a detailed vision of all the tactics needed to survive.

The key goal with this particular tome is to help develop your skills firmly in the realm of reality. Do not make the assumption that the goal here is to turn you into Sylvester Stallone ala the first RAMBO film. No, this is not a fantasy novel masquerading as a outdoors tome. Rather, Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills: Naked into the Wilderness by John McPherson is intended to help all those that wish to get back to the basics of proper outdoors safety and survival back to basics. Ultimately, it is the former point that should motivate people to purchasing and reading this particular book. When you are lost in the wilderness, you will need to maintain your safety until you are rescued. Doing so is absolutely impossible unless you understand the steps needed to effectively maintain such safety. This is where this excellent guide comes into play. It breaks down all the points you need to master in order to boost your survival capabilities tremendously. Again, the goal of this book is to boost safety and enhance the odds of survival. Those points alone make it a must read.

This text covers several vital points associated with wilderness survival. The information contained in the text deals with creating waterproof shelters for yourself, knife and bow making, food hunting and gathering, maintaining warmth in cold weather scenarios, and basically all manner of other things associated with keeping yourself safe and sound when you are stuck far from civilization.

There is another side to this boot some may find interesting. While safety and survival skills are important to possess, they can also be used for roughing it. In other words, those that wish to venture into the realm of the great outdoors with limited camping items may find this book to be a reliable way to learn the basics of how to do so….safely.

No matter what your own individual reason for learning wilderness survival may be Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills: Naked into the Wilderness by John McPherson is the book to purchase to familiarize yourself with the subject. Really, this is the definitive work on the subject and the one well worth reading.
