The instructions are remarkably clear, and black-and-white illustrations add visual interest, levity, and clarity when needed. Fascinating enough to read cover to cover without setting foot outside, it will also be a reliable companion on camping and hiking trips to augment hours of outdoor exploring.

     In their introduction to this outdoor manual, the authors state that “maintaining our connection to nature... is more important than ever.” With that outcome expressed, they invite readers to learn about specific scenarios, such as “how to outrun a bear” (“You can’t”), survival skills, and assembly projects. Unfortunately, scattershot presentation weakens the whole. Some activities require skills not covered until later (a knot needed for a friction fire bow is not explained for another 25 pages), and there is no index for guidance. In addition, though the book acknowledges its debt to Native American traditions and mentions cultural appropriation, it offers a dodge rather than suggestions for further understanding: “That’s a lot to think about, and if it doesn’t resonate with you, that’s OK.” Boushee’s doodle-style drawings competently illustrate most concepts, but the many missed opportunities make this invitation to the outdoors too uneven to recommend. Ages 8–12.

     Starred review from March 15, 2019
     Outdoor-adventure activities combine wisdom and fun in this practical guide to the wild.Knowledge about the natural world and its resources used to be passed down from one generation to the next, as it was required for survival. Although modern society no longer requires familiarity with wild edibles, forecasting weather from clouds, and making a friction fire, these skills remain useful, say the authors of this handy guide. A thoughtful introduction acknowledges the Native American origins of many of the skills introduced in the book. Part 1, "Secrets of the Woods," includes tapping a maple tree and navigating by the stars. Part 2 covers camping skills from tying knots to brushing your teeth with a stick. Part 3 offers instructions for making such useful items as a willow basket, a log raft, or a birch-bark knife sheath (there is a discussion of knife handling and safety). Part 4 shows readers how to make fun things from nature, like a whistle from a stick or a kite from turkey feathers ("ask a turkey hunter or look on eBay or Etsy"). The instructions are remarkably clear, and black-and-white illustrations add visual interest, levity, and clarity when needed. Fascinating enough to read cover to cover without setting foot outside, it will also be a reliable companion on camping and hiking trips to augment hours of outdoor exploring.This in-depth guide offers plenty to learn and do for adventurers of all skill and experience levels. (Nonfiction. 11-17)
