About this book

Bushcraft 101 is a field guide to wilderness survival skills by Dave Canterbury. The book prepares readers for backcountry trips by focusing on the 5Cs of Survivability: cutting tools, covering, combustion devices, containers, and cordages. It covers essential skills for crafting resources from your surroundings. The guide includes detailed information on selecting kit items, manufacturing tools and supplies, collecting and cooking food, and protecting yourself from the elements. Canterbury's approach teaches readers how to prepare for various climates and situations while using bushcraft techniques to engage with nature.
