!st off just let me say that there are mnay authors of "Bushcraft" type books out there: Mors Kochanski, Cody Lundin, J. Wayne Fears, John "Lofty" Wiseman,
Paul Tarwell...And any older Boyscout Handbook and Field Manual teaches many of the same things you just mentioned. I checked out one of Tom Brown's books from the library but didn't care much for it. it taught the same thing the others teach. Also I 2nd what Beowulf posted!

I have a post-secondary education, so I can read fairly well. I just wanted to point that out because I want to add: I know how to fish, hunt, trap, survive in near-Arctic winter cold, and 80-100F summer heat and I have a couple other survival skills too. I've never read Tom Brown's or anyone else's survival books.
I know how to use dynamite, I've never used it to catch fish. It's always amazed me how people get all pee-their-pants excited about how many dead fish float to the surface, they have no idea how many other dead fish sink to the bottom. It's mindless and I've discouraged several of our younger members from attempting it because I've also seen what can go wrong using dynamite.
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
In a worse case scenario I'd use the same technique as we did as kids.
I'd start with a strong tree branch or piece of wood about three to five feet long. I'd then tie my boot lace to one end, after notching the wood, and the then notch the other end.
Next bend the bow and tie the other end of the dowstring, boot lace, to the other end thus creating a functional bow.
Now as far as an arrow is concerned, any long, streight,pointed stick or rod should suffice. You should be sure that your intended arrow is longer than the bow's draw depth.
This should give you a survival bow and arrow to fish with or even as a means of personal protection from both animal and human predators.

My friend, I have to agree most hole heartedly with you on this matter.
Catfish, frogs, turtles, molesks, and a great number of other creatures, all of which could become future food for you, GONE! with just one stupid act.
