Ninjutsu Basic Skills
Mr. Robert Busseys FIRST book. Priceless, and hard to come by.
Survive! Essential Skills and tactics to get you out of anywhere - alive
Written by Les Stroud host of Survivorman TV show. A no nonsense look at survival skills and tactics, sticks to the basics and leaves the "advanced" survival skills for another book, his reason being, they require to much time and energy and unless your out there for a long time, then you need to be focused on the basics of getting out. At 373 pages it is quite a read for a "survival handbook", not as many pictures & illustrations as you normally see in a survival book, but the quality text makes up for it. All of the skills he talks about are things that have been tested and tried. This book was hard to put down until I finished it!
