About

The first edition of the Bushcraft Manual was produced in 1968; over this period the manual has been used by thousands of people as they seek to extend their knowledge in all things bushcraft. Over the years new developments have contributed to revised versions, and this fifth edition is the culmination of that compounding knowledge and continued development of best practice. This edition has been updated at a time when the digital space continues to evolve at rapid pace. Much of how we access information, and learn, is now available online. This manual can also be found online in several styles. At the time of revision numerous chapters were developed into online modules, which you can find at mountainsafety.org.nz. This manual has been developed to help newcomers and those with some experience to enjoy the New Zealand outdoors safely. Latest review: August 2021
