SAK Camping & Outdoor Survival Guide book
on: September 17, 2019, 08:53:48 PM
I know at the beginning of the year another thread talked about this book coming out. I was at Books a Million and found a copy. Thumbed thru it and found three things I didn’t know how to do so it came home with me. Has history, some nice write ups on certain models and 224 pages in this book also. Well worth the $13.00 I paid and am quite sure cheaper on the net. A winner.  :like: :cheers:

That looks like a fun read. I might have to get myself a copy and try some of the projects, maybe get my little guy to help and show him more in the ways of the SAK.

We need to arrange a SAK-off between Bryan Lynch and Felix Immler. Drop them both in the middle of the forest equipped just with a Swiss Champ. First one to build a three-room log cabin with full suite of furniture and a 12’ stockade wins.

I didn’t think of taking it out camping and teaching them there. That might make it even more exciting for the kids! Thanks  :cheers:

Don't forget to include the important tagline:

*Brought to you by Victorinox.  If it's not a Victorinox, it's not a REAL Swiss Army!*

I would watch EVERY episode.
