Q&A: Bushcrafting - Books for Beginners

About this episode

This episode provides resources and skills for bushcrafting, including foraging and first-aid.

In this episode are resources you can use to learn more about building shelters, creating cordage, creating your first everyday carry, foraging for food, elevating that food to cuisine, and the basics of first-aid if you're ever on your own or with a small group far away from a clinic or hospital. These skills also form the basis for building, or rebuilding, our communities in times of decline or disaster.
