WHETHER YOU’RE A LONGTIME OUTDOORSPERSON HOPING TO HONE YOUR SKILLS OR A NEWCOMER LOOKING TO EMBARK ON YOUR FIRST ADVENTURES IN NATURE, THERE’S NO BETTER LEADER THAN DONNY DUST, ONE OF THE US’S FOREMOST WILDERNESS EXPERTS. US Marine Corps veteran Donny Dust has earned his reputation as a ‘professional caveman’ by fully embracing a minimalist way of life in the wilderness, where he crafts everything from scratch, be it tools like saws, chisels, hammers, and cordage or items such as bows, arrows, axes, ropes, sandals, backpacks, bowls, and swords – and, of course, fire. Having amassed two decades’ worth of primitive living skills that enable him to survive everywhere from the jungles of Asia to the mountains of North America, Donny is now passing his knowledge and expertise on to you. In Wild Wisdom, you’ll learn the simple advice that ‘nature provides all’ for almost any self-reliance or survival needs. Donny teaches you to use situational awareness in order to avoid danger, problem-solve, prioritise, find shelter, and be able to pivot and improvise in any given situation. Since Donny brings as little into nature as possible, he focuses on: – essential gear – sheltering – building fire – staying hydrated – foraging – trapping The original illustrations in the book guide you through each step, making Wild Wisdom an essential resource in the outdoors.
