Could easily be called "Fun with Knife, Saw, and Twine"
by Ronnie Justice (4 out of 5 stars)
March 14, 2018

What I liked:
The illustrations are excellent. The pictures are clear. Steps are labeled and easy to follow.
The projects follow a progression of skill level. First, you make a hammer. Then you make a wedge. Then you use them to split wood. Later, you split wood to make a cup. I like the variety and progression of projects.

What I didn't like:
The Swiss Army Knife (SAK) is almost nonessential. If he had used a fixed blade knife and pocket saw, the book would have been the same. More to the point, twine seems to be the featured tool in most projects. I really did want a book that centered around a SAK and some of the common tools.

Disappointed

As a survival instructor myself, I found this book to be a rather interesting concept when I had first heard about it. However, after skimming through the book I found that many of the projects in this book were very impractical and some even quite useless. Furthermore, I questioned the legitimacy of the author from the moment I discovered that he advocates batoning a Swiss Army knife... It really called a lot to question for me.

Overall, I didn't find this book very helpful and quickly returned it. I would save my money and buy something else honestly. I think anyone that knows a bit about the woods would be rather disappointed with this book.

This is an awesome book! I am an avid Swiss Army knife fan and I'm certain that I will learn a few bush craft techniques and make my little pocket tool even more useful. In a time when laws are being written that turns legitimate life saving tools into " weapons" this book reminds everyone that there are legitimate and sensible uses for a pocket tool and good and sensible reasons for carrying them.

Fun little book

A good little book with lots of fun projects. Sure, you can find most all of it on the internet, but I like to have all my information in one handy spot. I also like books. So it's worth the money to me to get something like this in my hands. Definitely worth the time and money in my opinion.

Become the Swiss Army Knife Family Robinson

Fun little book about bushcrafting in a forest environment with the Swiss Army Knife. Plenty of photos to illustrate the projects. This is NOT a survival manual, whittling guide, or collector's guide. Author disclosed he had help of shovel and some larger tools. Looking forward to paperback edition and would suggest a chapter on knife care/sharpening, especially with all the use one would get with a SAK using this book.

Great information!

Felix does and excellent job of opening minds to what they can make with a limited set of tools while they are in the woods.

This will help any parent that wants to introduce their child to the woods and camping by getting them involved with making a camp.

This will also help any adult that is just starting to camp to have a more enjoyable trip and for the "old woods bum" there may even be a tip in here for you too!

Great book for adults or kids. Felix produced a fun and insightful book showing some amazing concepts; all buildable with a single pocket knife. Even if one isn't into the outdoors, he shares some amazing and crafty ideas.
