I'm embarking on an ambitious project ~ similiar to Julie Powell's blog where she made all of Julia Child's recipes in Mastering The Art of French Cooking. She took a year I may take longer.
My project involves taking Richard Harry Graves book Bushcraft: A Serious Guide to Survival & Camping and attempt to make or build every craft within its 372 pages.
I'm going to show how the common man with no experience can take God's natural resources and construct ropes, fire bows, snares, traps, bush hoe's etc. I live in the Seattle area and have at my disposal the ocean, mountains, rain forests, deserts, lakes, and farmlands. So, I should be able to make everything and will blog my journey.
The text will be included and I'll use the illustrations from the 1984 revision. I'm hoping some Aussie's will provide more up to date biographical information on Graves with photo's and even book links; if there are any. Time will tell.
Well as your wife, I am excited to see you and the boys master these skills. They are sure excited too, your only problem will be holding them back! :-) I love you!
