Let me begin by saying that I know there is a Bushcraft 101 basic skills book that precedes this one. Let me follow that by saying I did not read it. I'm not a professional survivalist, but I can identify enough edibles and clouds to get by, and I have the basic survival skills under my belt. I consider bow drill and flint/steel firecrafting a basic skill, so I was surprised to find it repeated in this advanced guide.I also have some tech writing skills under my belt, and this guide needs help. My humble opinion: If Bushcraft 101 suffers from the same lack of proper illustration, lack of process, and has the excess fluff that this book has, then neither book will help you as much as other survival books might.Before everyone goes nuts, I admit there is some useful information that can be gleaned - provided you already have the basics in the bag and are ready to use your imagination to figure out how to perform the advanced skills Dave tries to describe here.This book was a roller coaster ride, a real back-and-forth between getting useful information and then getting left hanging with only half the information (or illustration) needed to make it useful... and then sifting through the proverbial fluff to reach the next useful (or useless) chapter. Sorry fans. I really wanted this to be a great advanced bushcraft reference book, but it did not meet expectations.Why?I was highly disappointed by the low value illustrations inserted while more useful illustrations were omitted. For example: the pine needles illustration on page 31.
