Add to this Joe O’Leary’s sound advice and knowledge of survival and bushcraft techniques, with some practical experience, and you will have the confidence to tackle whatever comes your way.

Written in clear, easy-to-follow text, The Wilderness Survival Guide focuses on the realities of using wilderness survival techniques not just in a genuine “survival situation” but also to enhance any outdoor experience, from a hike in the country to camping in the wild.

Read this book and you’ll learn how to:

• Use bushcraft tools to build a shelter and improvise equipment
• Light a warming fi re (and keep it lit) in bad conditions
• Find safe water to drink
• Hunt and forage for wild food – and cook what you catch or find

It often feels like time is happening to us, a fickle and unforgiving force beyond our control. But there are other ways to experience it.

In this issue, BESIDE presents stories and essays about tuning into time’s astonishing plurality: seasons and harvests, rocks and trees, rituals and traditions. Time spent creating and connecting; time saved or gloriously wasted. Because changing the world might just begin with changing our relationship to time.
