   I bought this book 20 years ago, when I was a boy scout in the Pacific Northwest. It accompanied me during my Marine Corps enlistment — and has been to more countries and climes than most people.GRAVES writes in a straight forward and brief style that stays on message. Judging from GRAVES experiences and the few pics inside the book, it appears he was in the Aussie SAS — although he never comes out and says so.There are numerous sketches in the book that clearly demonstrate his ideas and methods.I find it amazing that this book has not been reprinted. It is a shame…

   I picked up a copy of Bushcraft in 1983 and it has been my constant companion. As an Instructor at the Marine Corps Jungle Survival School in Okinawa I used its lessons extensively and have never found a better manual of wilderness survival. Later, as an instructor for the National Outdoor Wilderness school, I taught my students some of the skills I learned from Bushcraft. If you can find a copy, buy it!

   I bought this book way back in the mid 70′s when I was in High School. I used it for a reference on my “Extreme” camping adventures. I then found it to be even more valuable and usefull while serving in the 82′d Airborne. I “Lent” this out to a friend and it was never returned. I know that info presented in this book has been used by my friend while assigned as a survival instuctor for a very elite unit in the U.S. Military. I would recommend this book to all who wish to have a practical guide to survival and I’m pleased to finally get a copy back in my hands.

   Bushcraft by Richard Graves is an outstanding book for anyone who has ever seriously considered living off whatever is at hand. It explains how to make tested, improvised tools and ropes, as well as where and how to build a shelter ranging anywhere in size from a single person lean too, to a 20 foot long hut. Also included in this 368 page book are lessons on fire making, knots, tracking, trapping, and land navigation. “Bushcraft teaches you how to recognize edible, safe foods. It diagrams every rope and knot you will need, illustrates every method of making a fire and every kind of shelter(Bushcraft, cover page).” A definite wealth of knowledge that anyone could benefit from, because you never know!

   I purchased this book back in 1983, and I referred to it frequently while I was in the US Army. This book is an excellent read for novice or expert alike, and Graves makes the message simple with straightforward instructions and illustrations. It is a shame that I cannot purchase this book again since I have just about worn out the copy I have!Kenneth Smith
