I've seen this book on YouTube for references to a Bushcraft Survival channel. It seems interesting and so I invested in the book. So far its great...but its a lott of information to digest. Nevertheless I have been learning from it so far. Great manual! Thanks Lay It Flat, and I love the format of laying it flat function.
