Hi Guys and Gals,
I have quest for you. When I was a young lad my father gave me a book on survival he had picked up in second hand shop. I took this book on ever scout trip and adventure and it became a great source of inspiration. But several years later my younger bother (as they do) lent it to someone and forgot who he gave it to. I have only just for given him.
As the mists of time have thickened between then and now my memoir has faded but I would like to be able to bring some of it back. So here is the quest help find my childhood.
The book was a hardback (the one I had had no dust cover but the original may have) it was porridge like in colour with a hiking boot sole print in brown diagonally across the front the cover. Survival was in the title but thats all I can remember. I cannot recall the Author which is my big problem.
Like Mors book it had a good section on knifes there use and care written at the beginning of the book. The text (if I remember correctly) was in columns and there were only drawings no photos.
Well there it is. I figured this might be the best place to start as I now one or two of you have big book shelfs and might be able to point me in the right direction as were I can find a copy.
Any help whats so ever is really appreciated.
Many Thanks
James
