Writer's Guide to Woodcraft

(1/3) > >>

MClark:
Hi,

Is there something like a writer's guide to woodcraft? Something that would cover all things forest related?  Like which plants grow together or definitely will not grow together? Or what there is to eat and how to prepare it?  Or is an Army survival guide my best bet for such questions?

Snowleopard:
Ah, the Army probably does have such a guide.
The Boy Scouts would also have a guide of what you can eat and what you can't.
A general survival guide geared to surviving in the woods would also help.
I'm afraid that I don't have any specific names for you.


Okay, went on Amazon and found this book.  I hope it's of some help.

How to Stay Alive in the Woods: A Complete Guide to Food, Shelter, and Self-Preservation That Makes Starvation in the Wilderness Next to Impossible [Paperback]
Bradford Angier

MClark:
Hi,

I found an online PDF of the Army Survival Guide. Its pretty good and even has some color pictures at the back of edible and poisonous plants. Since it was free, I decided to go with ti.

Some extensive google searching also turned up some info. 

Thanks for the reply.

LizW65:
Euell Gibbons' Stalking the Wild Asparagus and its sequels are classics of what to harvest from the wild and how to prepare it.

comprex:
Do not forget the classic.  <-Amazon link


BTW, for a while there I thought you wanted a guide to harvesting, preparing and using lumber.
