Chris Speir is the founder of Speir Outdoors, the hugely popular online community devoted to primitive camping and survival. Speir has spent his entire life camping, hunting and fishing. In that time, he has mastered the art of survival in the wilderness with minimal resources and established Speir Outdoors to teach those skills to others. Speir is also a professional wildlife photographer. He lives in southern Mississippi.
"""Speir packs a lot of hard-earned knowledge into the 251-page book and presents it logically, covering all the fundamentals. Large, clear, colour images illustrate the text, providing clear and easy-to-understand explanations of each topic. I consider myself an experienced bushcraft and primitive camper. Still, I gleaned many tips and tricks from this book; nuggets of information that will make my time in the woods more enjoyable."" --Lowell Strauss"
