My book is a wilderness survival biography but also has a lot of 'how to' knowledge on tanning gathering identifying material how my art is done etc. It is a good book to compliment my art or to connect to the art and raw materials I sell. Anyone who likes the wilderness my art and the materials I use should enjoy this. After being raised middle class city and raise don Walt Disney I move to the Alaska wilderness to live my dream of being a mountain man I get dropped off with no arrangements to get picked up and walk out almost a year later then build a houseboat to live on

In general special service is welcome
but may cost more. Better to buy it off the shelf! (shop cart) Stuff not with a shop cart icon is like I unloaded a full truck in the yard and have not had time to know what I even have (or made) not really thought about it yet. I make something, it is done- off my mind, I scandisk and defrag for more ram on the next one of a kind project. . My mind focuses on what to make next. Cut and paste me a picture so I have a clue what you are talking about. I might have it but might not be able to find it easy or might have something similar or can make one similar. But the more of my time you occupy, and the more you tell me what to do, the more it cost.
