Christopher Molloy has published an excellent online edition of ten out-of-print Bushcraft Books by Richard Harry Graves:
The 10 Bushcraft Books’ are the seminal texts on bushcraft and this on-line edition (based on the first edition of the book set) has been released to share this unique source of knowledge. Originally written as wartime information for conducting rescue missions, the notes were later revised and prepared for a School of Bushcraft which was conducted for nearly 20 years. Almost all the quirks of the original text have been retained (illustrations by the author, inconsistent word usage, strange punctuation, etc.) although I have removed 50% of the commas (believe it or not). I have also converted all imperial measurements into metric.
A treasury of interesting, practical information. I especially like the sections on making ropes and cords from materials found in the forest and the sun compass/clock information Molloy appends to the original text. Molloy did an fine job bringing the books to the web in a readable, uncluttered format that is easy to follow.
