Intro: You have to know to go
Many of us get into primitive skills without knowing anything about building shelter, making fire, hunting or gathering. We don’t know what to look for or where to start.
This 24-page e-book helps you start from nothing in a parallel field: The clothes and gear you may need to get into the outdoors comfortably and safely. As a former outdoor leadership instructor I have watched the industry for about forty years and know what’s available, what works well, and where to find it. Best of all, I know where to get it at 30% to 70% off retail prices:
Like deer or wild boar, deals dart across the road at specific places. Knowing which cross where enables you to be armed, positioned, and ready. Brands and industries have specific logic and habits. Learning about them enables you to anticipate and intersect with their products when they are most vulnerable: when retailers dump them cheap to make room for new ones..
Jackets, shoes, tents, and backpacks have a regular annual growing season. There is a time to harvest each of them, and it is after they are brightest and most colorful. Knowing when and where to do that can save you 30% to 70% off the price you pay.
