Tom Brown's Field Guide to Nature and Survival for Children

A great book! there are very little of the 'required' or 'standard' bushcraft skills that are not included in this book.It is written in a way that an Adult can guide a child through the skill rather than being a 'cartooned kids book'. It goes into good levels of detail on fire, shelter, tracking, food (hunting and foraging) and nature awareness along with practical exercises that can be set up to aid learning. These skills are suitable for children but I would also say for adults too!If you have kids and want to get them (and maybe yourself) into bushcraft this is a good book! unless you are a quite experienced woodsman you, as well as the children will learn from this book!A dual purpose book! Use it yourself to learn the skills then use it to teach the skills to children! Unless you really want to go deep into the topic (as I do) than you may only ever need to buy one book, this one!

My 11 yr.old nephew loves this book and won't put it down. It is a guide to full-on nature connection, not just bushcraft.

Great book for parents organising a camp. I was unsure how to SAFELY run a camp. This book was incredibly helpful and my camp went very smoothly without injury

Good reading with good ideas. I like his honest homely views and his general outlook on life. Two thumbs up.

If you want to know how to stalk prey and snare a rabbit, or are prepared to stuff leaves and debris inside your clothes to keep warm, then this is the book for you. I work in environmental/outdoor education and this is too hardcore for me!
