Gone but NOT forgotten!

Townsend Whelen was an amazing man in life and this book best embodies his legacy of outdoor living. Although Whelen and, to a disappointing degree, his way of life are gone, this book is a fascinating historical view of survival in the wilderness. If you long for the days of wide open spaces or would like to learn from a master at surviving without any help from civilization, I enthusiastically recommend this book to you. This book and the knowledge contained therein are a true treasure for anyone who ever might need to survive in the wilderness and is a fitting tribute to the life of Townsend Whelen.

The wisdom of the ages

Townsend Whelen in this book passes on the wisdom of the people who learned the artform of surviving in the wilderness from the Indians and hard knocks.It is a book which you probably will have to re read time and again to soak in what he is plainly saying. It is amazing that the same things that kept people alive in the wilds 100 years ago...have not been improved upon to this day.His writing is simple and to the point. I have not regretted buying this book and still find myself returning to it...and finding that Whelen already said it 50 years ago.
