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. The individual handbooks format was chosen to support that end.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOut of print for decades, and in keeping with the Author's wishes, this series of \u003cem\u003eBushcraft Handbooks\u003c\/em\u003e are reproduced as close to their original format as possible.
