[Kitty · Rating 4 out of 5]

meenutab mulle üht mu lapsepõlvelemmikut, "Matkatarkuste taskuraamatut", mida võisin lõputult lugeda ja unistada, kuidas meisterdan valmis kõik need vibud ja õnged ja teen onnid ja lõkked ja küpsetan omapüütud kala ja orienteerun päikese ja samblike järgi. enamus neid asju on siiani tegemata, aga teoorias olen tugev

ühesõnaga, mõjub üsna inspireerivalt ja kuigi kala osas ei luba midagi, siis lõkke äärde tahaks küll püüda sattuda tihemini, kui seda viimastel aastatel ette on tulnud.

ja õppisin päris mitu sellist asja ka, mida seal nõukaaegses raamatus ei olnud!

I really like this book, its very handy, beginner friendly and is written well. My only issue is that the author has only listed a few identifications for trees. I get the author is trying to keep it a bitesize smaller book but it only has ~4 examples, we need more

This book does give good outdoor tips, but us short and not very thorough in the explanations. If one does truly want to become an outdoor survivalist, I'd recommend getting a more indepth book.
