Modern conveniences, we are surrounded by them, so much so that we
take most of them for granted, until we don't have them. From the
knife and fork we use to the more complex machines we have built to
serve us such as computers, washing machines and even the car we
drive, we have developed a way of life where we think we can not do
without these 'necessities'. Is all the gadgetry we have surrounded
ourselves with really 'necessities' or have we let ourselves become
victims to so much gadgetry that even a broken pencil cannot be
sharpened because the electric sharpener is out of batteries? I'm
not against having modern conveniences. They have made life easier
and given us all more time for things we enjoy. But neither can the
individual who will survive become so much a slave to luxuries that
they cannot do without them. There have been people who have died
because they have lost all their modern gear in some outdoor
activity because they could not escape the mentality that they were
lost without it. It is a fact that disillusionment and the paranoia
that follows it are the biggest killers among people thrust into a
survival situation. History bears out what can happen to a people
locked into this mentality. Did you know there were people who died
on the Oregon trail because they lost their silver forks and spoons
and figured they could not eat because they no longer had the tools
they were used to eating with? It's true Many others died when
their food supplies ran out because they would not eat the wild
game their guides provided because they considered it uncivilized.
Even earlier than the Oregon Trail, back to the establishing of the
first European settlements in this land, many perished waiting for
the supply ships though they lived in a land of plenty. Had it not
been for some friendly Native Americans who opened their eyes to
nature's bounty and how to make and use the tools they used, the
casualties would have been even higher. Yes, there was a time
people lived closer to the Earth. They experienced the outdoors
everyday. The woods, the rivers, the land was their source for
food, for medicine and all of life's daily needs. It was for this
reason they often called the Earth their 'Mother'. In our modern
culture most people have become far removed from this
connection.This book draws off of the skills that primitive people
have used for thousands of years and applies these skills in such a
way to show the modern day survival student how they too can
survive in the outdoors. These basic skills can be adapted to
whatever place in the world one finds themselves in a situation
where one must survive or die. Whether you are a serious
survivalist or an outdoorsman that wants to be prepared this book
is for you. This book is unique in that it draws its knowledge from
how ancient people lived before they even had a steel blade to
depend on and though there are some modern survival tools used this
book mainly seeks to illustrate how to survive with nothing except
what Nature provides. The knowledge you will obtain from reading
and practicing the skills described in this book could very well
save you and your loved ones' life. At very least you will discover
you don't need the whole camping catalog in your backpack to enjoy
the outdoors. Primitive survival skills open up a whole new realm
of possibility and appreciation for the outdoors. Once you
experience the outdoors on this level you will never look at the
outdoors the same way again.

True Spirituality. Just saying it brings to mind a myriad of
responses and reactions, some very emotionally charged and most
polar opposites of each other. It is said if you want to start an
argument then mention religion or politics. I have to agree.
However, I propose to you that true spirituality has nothing to do
with religion. I think a big part of the problem is the messed up
definition most of us have of what it means. True spirituality has
nothing to do with religion or any particular set of beliefs. It is
an all-encompassing view of life and not denying that things are
more connected than most want to accept. True spirituality carries
over into every aspect of your life. It's not something you have to
stir up, pay up or wind up. True spirituality is something that
comes alongside everything you do, every thought you think and
everything you see. It becomes a filter through which you view all
things on a level that just makes sense.
