"Around you in the bush are food and materials for shelter and the
wherewithal for many emergencies...". The first sentence in this

materials; it tells also how to make ropes and cords from bark,
fibres, and vines, and how to knot and lash ropes and cords. The
second section deals with traps and snares, It's amazing how many
ways there are to catch animals for food Then, there's information
on how to catch fish and other sea food without the usual lines and
nets. The third section tells how to find water; this is an art in

next section deals with the food that can be found in the bush.
