Book Reviews of Tom Brown's Field Guide to Nature Observation and Tracking (Field Guide)
Book Review: One of a series of Guides by Brown
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read this book several years ago, along with his first book "The Tracker." I was impressed enough to travel by plane, bus and truck to his class in New Jersey. Yep, New Jersey, home the largest wooded area in the U.S.
Tom says as a kid he was trained by an Apache Scout and Shaman whom he calls "Grandfather." We spent a week sleeping in a barn on the hay, going barefoot is really cold weather and cooking outside on a large communal grate. Lecture sessions were held in a 100-year old barn and tracking (or dirt time as Tom calls it) was in various woods and fields. This was one of the texts and we had a meal or two using it as a guide-deep fried clover blossoms as I remember, using cattail blossoms as flour. It was very good.
Tom still has classes in NJ. When I left I was certain, as I still am today, that I could survive in the woods or anywhere if necessary.
Get this book along with "The Tracker," for a complete view of Tom's story.
Tom was also technical advisor on the Tommy Lee Jones movie "Tracker," and the knife used in the production is available from Brown. Enjoy, Learn.
