The Official John Wayne Handy Book of Bushcraft

Survive and thrive in the wild with these 100 practical skills and techniques for mastering the outdoors under any conditions

If there’s one thing John Wayne admired, it was someone who could stand on their own two feet and take care of themselves no matter what the day might bring. As a lover of the outdoors, he understood the challenges that come with living in the wild. It was a point of pride with Duke to play so many pioneers and explorers in his films – people with the skills that enabled them to master a life on their own far from the edges of civilization.

The editors of The Official John Wayne Magazine are proud to publish The Official John Wayne Handy Book of Bushcraft – just the thing you need to prepare for a safe, satisfying backcountry trip.
