Excellent subject content. The illustrations are easy to to follow and understand. Great resource.
The book is small and compact 4.5" x 7". Easy to read and follow content. This book touches what the other book set have but in a brief way. It is more of a refresher on the basics of Bushcraft touching on the essentials as the title states. Illustrations are clear to see and read. This book can be carried into the field with you as a refresher/quick pocket tool because of its size. If you haven't read the other book sets and start with this one you should be fine as long as you have some knowledge on field camping and field craft.
This book is a great reference to carry camping. It was well though out to carry by size and each page edge identify the chapter you are in. Thus providing quickly where you are in the book. There is a glossary at the end defining certain words like azimuth and a good index. The book is written like a person talking to you on bushcraft with pictures only where needed. The pictures mostly cover knots, lashing, plants, tree leaves and navigation. It did a great job covering what to take camping and why. It covers plants and trees for healing with pictures. I liked the area of the many uses of pine trees and white ash from campfires. The area on cleaning up after you do your business was priceless. It covered hydration but not how to select a water source. Like any wildlife in the water. It did cover the basic treatment of water good. On navigation, I do not think it covered star navigation at all. Compass use was explained adequately and explained why people probably walk in circles when lost. To me this is a must have book. You have to remember no book covers everything and that is why you need to read several books on the subject. This being one of them.
I’m still reading this book, although it’s the perfect size to throw in a cargo pocket or a backpack for a quick study. I have a lot of pathfinder gear and everything that comes from Dave is top notch. This is no different.
This is a great reference tool to have with you...it's compact and weatherproof so it's a no-brainer to throw this in your map pocket. I wanted to mention that when I ordered my autographed copy something went haywire and I didn't hear anything for 3 weeks. I contacted SRO and Larry explained the order was missed somehow and the autographed copies are all sold. He told me they would ship a copy for Dave to throw his John Hancock on and ship to me! I was truly blown away! That's the kind of personal attention people don't forget...I sure won't! Bravo SRO & Dave you have a customer for life...Thank you again. Dan R

Fits my bottle like a glove. As an added bonus I use it to keep me warm in winter outdoor sleepovers. Fill your bottle with hot water, slip it in the bag, and keep it with you in your sleeping gear...Many therms of warmth for several hours!
I could not be happier with this purchase. As other items I have from SRO the build quality is above average and solid as a rock.
Pot - Love the bat wing handles. My hands are average and there is plenty of room to fit all 4 fingers in with a glove on. No issues with getting a good grip on it. I have been using it on a canister stove and find that it sits sturdy when cooking since it has a wider bottom than cup type pot. I also like bail it comes in handy to grab it off the stove. I can’t wait to try it over a campfire with a tripod.
Stove – Great match Dave. Good idea to make it a little smaller. If you take it out of its pouch and just use a bandana you can lay it flat on the bottom of the pot and a gas can on top of it with room for the stem. The top will stick up just a bit, but the bag takes care of keeping it all together.
Bag – I like it a lot. It’s built well and should hold up under normal use. It is big enough that you can have the pot and sit a 110g can on top and it closes and does not leave a lot of extra bag flopping around.
Windscreen – It’s HUGE!!!! 12 panels. This thing will have no problem blocking the wind for the stove. Actually, I think it’s large enough to use around one of the square butane stoves a caterer uses. I can see using it as a small campfire heat reflector.
I see another poster mentioned this on the page for the pot alone. “Would love to see a 6-inch version of the camp skillet to go with it.” I agree with them it would make a great combination set / addition to this set.
The Ozark Trail 18oz Stainless Steele cup from Walmart (still only $6.00) nests perfectly inside the 1QT. pot. You can then fill the cup, take the stove out of its pouch, and lay it flat on top of the cup. The lid sticks up just a bit but once it’s in the bag and the gas can is on top of it, it sits snug.
I purchased this mattress to replace the foam mattress in my Canvascutter Bedroll, as the foam was too bulky to properly pack on a horse. This mattress compacts down to half the size, and is just as comfortable. It inflates and deflates properly without the use of a pump. It seems to be constructed very well. Great Mattress!
a awesome piece of equipment to have
As usual 1st class item & service.
