Based on the Author's wartime service in Australia and New Guinea teaching \"\u003cem\u003eJunglecraft\u003c\/em\u003e\" to Australian and American forces, they are distilled, concentrated old-time bushcraft knowledge, presented in a very easy to assimilate format. For those who remember them, the Bushcraft Handbooks are also a heavy hit of nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRather than publish all of the volumes under the one cover, the Author originally chose to publish each aspect of bushcraft in its own individual handbook. His rationale was that the reader was more inclined to take a 50 page handbook with him into the wilds than a 400 page book. The former can be easily slipped into a pocket or daypack, while the latter cannot. \u003cem\u003eThe Bushcraft Handbooks\u003c\/em\u003e are useless unless the reader practices the skills the books were designed to impart.

To understand something of the behaviour of animals one must realise that the development of their senses is markedly different to mankind's, and therefore where we obtain information through our eyes and ears, one animal may obtain the same information through its sense of smell and another through its ability to detect temperature changes, or through vibrations. Where man communicates with man through speech, some forms of animal life communicate through telepathy. You see this in a flock of pigeons which turn in flight as one bird. This handbook broadly deals with some of these special characteristics explaining how knowledge of the 'sensitivity' of the creature is useful\", and how the animal's tracks provide a reliable indicator to its habits. The whole area covered in this book, if practised, leads to a remarkable development of one's powers of observation and deduction.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.09 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 27, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48101095833852,"sku":"9781484821695","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/1648\/7234\/files\/QUpncTE2dW54c050NXJGMkNpMjJuQT09.webp?v=1757411427","url":"https:\/\/proudlibertarian.com\/en-de\/products\/the-bushcraft-handbooks-trapping-tracks-paperback","provider":"Proud Libertarian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
