At first I was appalled that this book had been translated into German as is without taking any notice of whether or not various recommended products can be bought outside of the US.

Then I noticed major things missing, like how to build a fire without mentioning what a safe base for the fire might be.

And cutting down trees for building all sorts of things in your camp without mentioning that you might not have the right to do so on somebody else's property. (And yes, the land does belong to show more somebody.) Also he advocates taking lots of packaged foods with you into the 'wilderness' but never mentions carting the garbage back out.

It may be, though I doubt it, that any wood you find for a fire in the US is safe to use, but Yew is very poisonous, so not to point that out in the various chapters in the German edition is irresponsible.

Anyway, after your brave nature friend has carted all the recommended equipment and supplies into the wilderness, if all other methods of cooking fail, he can wrap the food in aluminum foil and lay it on the car motor while he lets the car idle for half an hour or so.

This book goes in the paper recycling. I consider it dangerous. show less
