Ben Hunt, the author of the book on Log Cabins was an old timer who taught many old skills and was an authority on Indian skills. His writings are well worth reading. I read a great deal of his material in the past. I obtained them through the library service. I do have his Log Cabin book and it is well worth having. Two other old timers worth reading are Dan Beard and Ernest Thompson Seton. Kenneth Eames.

Yes, thats very good BP. Another one is Wildwood Wisdom by Ellsworth Jaeger. Many more out there. I cannot think of them at the present time. Kenneth Eames.

Oh yeah, and I've changed my diet to optimise health, fitness, and looking sexy! WHAT!?!? Looking sexy is a survival tactic. It makes me less likely to be eaten by Amazonian women, if they happen to run rampage in the streets of wherever I am!!!
