Discover "The Forgotten Skills" for Survival Camping
Whether you go wilderness camping for hunting or just for fun, you know that adverse weather conditions can add to the difficulties of “roughing it.” What can you do about a leaky tent? How can you make a fire if you have no kindling to start one? Those are just a couple of the questions dealt with thoroughly in “The Forgotten Skills” DVD by Cliff Jacobson, one of North America’s most respected outdoor writers and wilderness guides.
This 90 minute DVD teaches skills you shouldn’t be without. Jacobson has experience camping since boyhood, much of which has been in the North. Anyone who can endure arctic conditions can surely endure less adverse situations, and he shows the rest of us just a part of his extensive knowledge. This is the sort of DVD you’ll want to watch several times, or at least take notes, to be sure to get the most out of it.
Jacobson discusses the importance of skills, not just buying things. It’s amazing what can be done with a couple of tarps, plenty of cord and rope, stakes, and the right knife and hand ax. Jacobson shows how to secure a tent so it is sturdy and dry in stormy weather, how to rig tarps for shelter, and what to do to prepare wood for a sure-starting fire. Discover the importance of a few essential knots and what type of knife, saw, and hand ax to have on hand.
