Description

Thrive in the wild with this info-packed and approachable guide to dozens of essential bushcraft skills for surviving and enjoying the great outdoors.

In Fire, Water, Shelter, host of Canada TV's Marshall Bushcraft, outdoor enthusiast Ryan Marshall delivers the fundamentals of traditional bushcraft with clear, concise instructions and full-color photography. It's the perfect guide for anyone interested in building a solid foundation of outdoor skills, whether you're looking to spend a weekend in the backcountry or surviving a natural disaster.

The art of bushcraft is not just about existing in an outdoor environment but interacting with it in a meaningful way.

  • Obtaining water from nature
  • The best lightweight cooking tools

  • Bushcraft tools to put on your pack list
  • Tips for dressing and sleeping comfortably
  • Helpful natural materials and how to find and use them
  • Ropes, knots, and hitches
  • Ten camp projects provide additional skills through illustrated step-by-step instructions

Compact and adventure-ready, Fire, Water, Shelter is your guide to flourishing in the great outdoors.
