Nichole Wernett
Tom Brown, Jr. began to learn hunting and tracking at the age of eight under the tutelage of an Apache elder, medicine man, and scout in Toms River, New Jersey, and is the author of 16 books on nature. Recently, he was the technical advisor on The Hunted, a major motion picture starring Tommy Lee Jones and Benecio Del Toro. In 1978, Tom founded the Tracker School in the New Jersey Pine Barrens where he offers more than 25 classes about wilderness survival and environmental protection.
Here, in one essential volume, are the basics of wilderness survival. The most ancient and important skills, preserved for generations, are presented in a simple, easy-to-use format with clear illustrations and instructions. A complete must-have companion to the great outdoors.
TOM BROWN'S FIELD GUIDES: America's most popular nature reference books, Tom Brown's bestselling field guides are specially designed for both beginners and experienced explorers. Fully illustrated and comprehensive, each volume includes practical information, time-tested nature skills, and exciting new ways to rediscover the earth around us.
But if you can separate your wants from your needs and see the beauties that surround you, if you can keep yourself in good physical shape and see the challenge of survival with well-honed skills, you will live easily in a survival situation and come to know the sense of one-ness the flows from the heart of the wilderness.
In this book Tom tells more stories of his life as a naturalist, tracker, and survivalist, including more detail about his year in the wilderness by himself. He also tells of the formation of his school, The Tracker School.
From Chapter 1: "It became abundantly clear to us right from the onset that Grandfather would teach a skill in two different ways. For instance, he would show us a particular shelter for the classic survival situation, then after we had mastered that shelter he would go beyond and into the realm of the scout. He would add, "Now if you want this shelter to become invisible on the landscape and thus to all eyes, then you must build it in this way." He would then demonstrate to us the way the shelter would be modified to fit the secretive aspect of scout life....."
"To the scout, the wilderness had to be his home. He had to live in perfect balance and harmony with creation and follow its laws. From his smokeless fires to his invisible shelters, everything had to blend into the flow of life so that there was no disruption in that flow."
A primer for wilderness survival without modern tools, this book covers topics from one's attitude in a wilderness survival situation, through the "sacred four" of shelter, water, fire, food, to tools and crafts.
Unlike most field guides, this one has a story of some sort about each plant, usually about an experience Tom had with it, or a story from Stalking Wolf ("Grandfather") about the plant. The first part of the book deals with how to approach nature in an attitude of harmony, to gather the plants with a caretaking attitude. The second part covers the edible and medicinal uses of 44 different plants.
In this field-guide style book on pressure releases, Tom talks about the lessons he has taught us about tracking and expands upon them. "Tracking lets us unlock the secrets of each animal we follow, and in turn, to become more aware of our own lace in nature and the world. It is a journey of discovery that engages the senses, awakens the spirit and enlightens the soul," he says.
