New Jack Mountain Bushcraft Student Handbook Published

I’ve been working on several book projects this winter, and the first one is our new student handbook. I’ve put together a bunch of the student resources we’ve developed over the last ten years in our semester programs and expanded on them, resulting in a study guide for our semester programs that would also be useful for anyone interested in studying bushcraft.

You can download an excerpt here (pdf file) which includes a section on using the portfolio and logbook as an assessment tool, with a sample logbook entry.

We’ll be using it daily in our courses, as well as for the online bushcraft university we’re developing. Our newly updated nature study curriculum in section 4 outlines the exercises we’ve used in our semester courses for a number of years, and could be used as a standalone nature study course for anyone interested in expending their knowledge of the world around them.
Table Of Contents:

Section 1: Educational Philosophy
Section 2: Assessment
Section 3: Bush Lore
Section 4: Nature Knowlege
Section 5: Nature Inventories
Section 6: Guide Training And Trip Planning
Section 7: Bibliography

Typos, Etc.
Anything that appears to be an error in spelling or grammar is actually the author’s clever use of the vernacular, and as such is not an error, but rather a carefully placed literary device demonstrating prodigious artistic prowess.
