Introduction (continued...)

This publication recognizes the dearth of primitive skills in modern, urbanized people. Its main aim is to equip the individual with the knowledge and practical skills to survive without the “civilized" support systems we have come to rely on so heavily. Its main thrust is to re-establish a mindset and lifestyle of practical self reliance - the skills of improvisation, the confidence to be able to survive in wild country through a knowledge of the land and it's resources.

The variety of subjects will be expansive and will include subjects such as navigational skills, finding and preparing food and water, fire making techniques, survival strategies, making improvised weapons, bush medicine, tracking, hunting and trapping skills, understanding animal behaviour, flint knapping, survival camping, dealing with dangerous game, survival psychology, tanning techniques and making your own clothes, basketry and weaving, rope making, understanding the weather and much, much more.

It will make for exciting and rewarding reading and will impart knowledge and skills which could make a difference between living and premature demise. A greater awareness of the natural world around us will also open up a whole new meaning to life and how we fit into the natural order of things. We look forward to having you as a regular reader.
