Packed with essential wilderness techniques, this book is an invaluable companion on any expedition.
Starting with a simple question – ‘Which way am I looking?’ – Tristan Gooley blends natural science, myth, folklore and the history of travel to introduce you to the rare and ancient art of finding your way using nature’s own sign-posts, from the feel of a rock to the look of the moon.
Many of the knots featured are strongly associated with - and probably originated - from sailing, but even the saltiest of them have extensive applications on land.
Appealing to both forest school teachers and families, this is a book that can be turned to time and time again, through the different seasons and over many years.
In an honest, straightforward style, Wille Sundqvist shares his love for basic hand tools and the practical objects they can produce from branches, burls, and crooked pieces of wood.
The Whittling Handbook is the perfect introduction to the simple, yet immensely pleasurable, craft of creating attractive objects with nothing more than a knife and a piece of timber.
A theoretical and practical guide exploring the inherent fascination that children have with sticks, and the learning opportunities that wood whittling can present. Simple, clear and easy to use, for anyone working with children from 3-11 years old.
