Books, movies, series and more about primitive living and skills
JEB:
I know most didn't like the Revenant but I watched it as fiction and thought it was a good movie. If you google the making of the movie the conditions were pretty bad and many extra's quit. If I remember right someone that posts on here made all the bows and arrows that was used in the movie.
GlisGlis:
As someone pointed out in another thread the Ray Mayers documentaries cover alot of primitive skills aspects
Some could be found on youtube
AndrewS:
another fine book:
"The gathering night" by Margaret Elphinstone
Hawkdancer:
Sort of burned out on the Gear's series after about 5 of them. I found the prologues very interesting, but the story lines all too similar to each other. Didn't watch the Revenant, but found the Ranger Handbook and the Air Force Survival Manual most interesting. The "Earth's Children" by Jean Auel are very good and well researched. Often wonder if Ayla ever reunites with her son, Durc!

Jerry, book #7 was written but after Jean Auel died by another author. I tried to get it from the library but even they couldn't get it. Apparently it is in court for copyright infringement. I'd also like to know what happened after they reached France and what happened to Durk.
I liked the all of the Gear's "People of..." series and have read a few of them 2 or 3 times.
I just started "Shaman" by Kim Stanley Robinson yesterday and so far I like it. Like in Jean Auel's Earth Child series I find the interaction between modern man and Neanderthal interesting and intriguing.
