Mountainman Crafts and Skills- David Montgomery

Mountainman Crafts and Skills- David Montgomery, 1992      239 pages
This book is filled with lots of information that would be useful to hobbyists, survivalists, family campers and even doomsday preppers.
This book provides patterns and step-by-step instructions for making: leather, head gear, clothing, footwear, knives from kits or from old saws. The book shows how to: do decorative bead work, make a fire without matches, how to construct wooden boxes, create or improvise shelter, prepare foods, all with common or easily obtained tools and materials that can generally be found locally.
This is not a comprehensive book, nor is it the last word on any of the topics mentioned. But this book is a good start for anyone wishing to know more about alternate technologies.
