The Blackwater Bushcraft Guide

Campcraft, canoe camp and field skills for the Southeast, written from our own trips.

Cover of The Blackwater Bushcraft Guide

A field guide to camping and canoe camping in blackwater country: shelter and tarps, fire and stoves, water, food, knots, navigation, weather, hazards and first aid, and leaving no trace. Twelve skills are taught picture by picture, and the pages tell you plainly where a skill needs a teacher and not a book.

  • Six parts: Foundations, Campcraft, Canoe Camp, Water, Food and Navigation, Weather, Hazards and First Aid, and Stewardship and Reference
  • Twelve skills taught in four-picture sequences, placed inside the topic they belong to
  • Go/No-Go card, float plan, gear log, camp inspection, drills and emergency contacts
  • Safety boxes and field checks on every skill page
  • Sources and references so you can check the rules where they are made
