"Once upon a time, kids learned the most amazing and unusual things. They learned how to shelter and clothe themselves, how to use a knife and hatchet, how build a fire, tie knots, and read a compass. They learned how to spend a comfortable night in the forest without a nylon tent from REI. The Young Adventurer's Guide will teach kids everything from how to walk like a fox and see like an owl to use the stars as their own personal GPS and even how to build the world's coolest fort out of foraged sticks. This handbook for curious kids will empower them to explore the natural world and even the comfort of their own backyard through a whole new set of skills. Featuring 65 different skills in sections that include: Secrets of the Woods, The Best Camping Trip, Make Cool Stuff That's Actually Useful and Turn the Ordinary into the Extraordinary"-- Provided by publisher.

Sounds fun, but... submitted by sara on August 3, 2019, 11:18am I don't think kids would pick up this book to read on their own. It's got a lot of tiny printing and only a few cartoonish black and white illustrations. One example of incomprehensible instructions when felting a hat: figure out the circumference of your noggin. Cut the measurement in half since the wool wraps around around both sides of the resist. Now add 30 percent to that measurement.
