Seems these pages would be annoying to navigate and read on a Kindle. Also, the obvious irony of downloading a Kindle version of this book lol.

Does the book include nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills, and computer hacking skills?

If anyone is really interested in this, topic, checkout the Foxfire series.

I have a full set of the original printings and it is awesome.

Woooosh
If that's implying some sort of joke, it doesn't make much sense as hunting skills WOULD be plausible...

This sounds handy to have, but I know that I would just YouTube search for something in this when the time comes. Sad times.

Wait—it says "skills employed by our forefathers"…what could there possibly be to update??? Is there late breaking research into skills our forefathers used?🤔🤷
I think you'd be surprised.
