Have aquired an extra copy of the book if anyone wants to round-robin it. Signature required in book before fowarding to next soul.

I pm'd my address. Thanks

Not a problem. I'll get it out Saturday, I'm tied up with work until then.

Ummm...checked my messages, no PM.

Did you get the pm?

No, evidently I had triple my quota in PMs already--please send it again, I've cleaned it up

Ok..I resent. Let me know the result.

Got it

Hey there, got the book yesterday. Started reading. I'll post up when I am getting close to being done.

Cool beans. Has some interesting ideas in it.

I'd be interested in having a look when it becomes available again.

HJ

No problem, HV can send it to you when he's done. Just put yer john hancock in it

HV, can you let me know when you're done? No hurry.
Can do!

About halfway through...alot of information. I'll let you know Hikin_Jim when I am close and you can PM me your address.

Billy - You indicated that you would like us to sign in the book, but there isn't a blank page anywhere...your call as to how to procede.

How about I add an envelope and we can include a business card or small piece of paper with name and address on it?

Let me know.

OK, that sounds good.

Inside cover, title page, wherever there isn't "knife" info

10-4. Halfway through...lots of information. Funny how the writer assumes you are going to have wood screws with you. One section shows you how to build furniture with your knife and then shows to insert screws. I chuckled at that part.

Obviously, the book is not for survival alone...but just around the house to. It's good information, thanks for making it available.

Not a problem, I found it useful. Actually, I can understand why he assumes you have wood screws with you...after your first field exercise with the Army, I think everyone carries them . I know I did (still do, when camping).

I guess I must have missed that habit when I was in. What did you use them for?

Our little shelter halves had wooden pegs, later replaced by steel which were 1,000 times better and wooden poles (pretty high tech, lol), but I don't remember a lot of things where I would use wood screws. Nice improvisational item though.

Shelter halves...LOL. Never saw one after Basic. We spent our time living out of tracks/trucks or hootches in third world playgrounds. Screws always come in handy when building hootches...made a solar charger for a cheap 9.6v cordless drill, no use in breaking your wrist trying to drive a 3" deck screw into plywood.

Plywood? Oh, yeah...combat engineers would always drop a pile of cr*@ in front of us to use for overhead cover and the like. Depending on where we were at, the first thing we'd usually make was a bar....

Come to think of it, I don't think I ever saw them again either. It was so dumb how the SGT's would make us take them down and put them back up because they were "not properly aligned" with the rest of the tents in the row. It looked like a seen out of an old movie -- of course we were using 30's or 40's technology. I do remember sleeping in or under tracks. That freaked me out a bit the first time I was told "go sleep under the track." (155mm self propelled howitzer)

lol

Alright...NEXT!

Good read, some interesting information. My thanks to Billy for letting us borrow.

PM me your address Hikin Jim and I will try to get out this week.

Thanks for the PM Hikin Jim, will send it out early next week. I would get it out today, but book is at home and I'm, unfortunately, at work.

Looking very much forward to taking a look (rubs hands in anticipation).

Hikin-Jim,

I'd like to read this book when you are done. I'll PM my address.

-Blast

OK, sounds good. I'll post again as I near the end. Feel free to drop me the occasional "status check" email.

HJ

Not a problem Glad you enjoyed it...I really need to get the other books he's written...with my current separation, I barely have time to work, let alone read.

Hghvlocity, have you had a chance to drop that book into the mail, yet?

Do the important things first. LOL

Yeah, beer used to be important...funny how things drop by the wayside as you age....

I haven't received the book yet from Hghvlocity, but I notice his profile says something about "broker" on it. With the financial meltdown, he may be a little busy right now.

Oh how right you are. Actually, I am Compliance Officer for a regional brokerage firm and we have been busier than a one legged man in a butt kickin contest. I apologize for not getting this our sooner. Work before 7 and home after 7 hasn't left me with alot of time to get to the post office. I will make it a priority this week and again I apologize.

Not a problem, bro. Take care of business and get it to me when you can.

Hey Blast. I'd like to get in on this. I'll PM you.

DesertFox,

I've asked Hikin_Jim to send it to you when he's done. I'm too swamped right now to read it.

-Blast

I haven't got the book yet, but re-ordering of the queue duly noted.

HJ

Ok Gentlemen, FINRA is gone, the SEC isn't demanding alot of my time, so I am getting out today at a decent hour. Will stop by UPS store and send out.

Again...I am sorry for the long delay, but I have greatly appreciated Bill's willingness to let us borrow.

Cool! Looking forward to receiving it.

HJ

P.S. Glad things are calming down a bit.

UPDATE: The book came this past Saturday (I assume; I was out of town this past weekend). I opened it up last night, and it looks really cool. I'm looking forward to digging in.

HJ

Glad you got it. Enjoy and again, sorry for the delay.

I'm going to have to order the rest of the series--the shop that carried his books seems to have fallen victim to the economic chaos and shut down. Drat.

I have the Knife Bible. I'd like to get all Don Paul's books.

Right on seconding that link, billy. Which ones do you have?

I've read Great Livin' in Grubby times, the survival guide, another one not listed on the site (can't remember the name).

Lost all of 'em in a PCS move, found the Knife Bible in a local surplus store (since closed), re-read it, offered it up here

They're all a little "hairy-chested" but good info.

Anyone know where the book's at now?

Seriously...would like to have it back

nice books!
