Отрывок из книги
First I would like to thank my parents: Dad, for giving me my first knife, without which I would not have had the experiences I have had, and Mom, for letting me keep the knife and for always encouraging me in my writing journey! To my editor, Bud Sperry, thank you for bringing this opportunity to me and guiding me through the process of putting a book together. And thank you to everyone at Fox Chapel Publishing whose hand touched this book and helped to push it toward publication. To the Elsener family, thank you for creating a quality, everlasting product that I could write about. To Victorinox, thank you for providing information and resources that helped in the creation of this book. To my friends, Greg, David, and TJ, thank you for teaching me what you have and guiding me in this field. And to my wife, thank you for taking photos, for your artistic input, and for reading this book so much that you probably know it better than I do.
Bryan Lynch grew up in the Midwest state of Iowa, where the state slogan is “Fields of Opportunity.” He spent most of his life walking those fields as an avid hunter and fisherman. It was there as a young boy that he learned the value of having a quality knife when his dad gave him a Swiss Army Knife. That first knife sparked a lifelong journey, although some might call it an obsession, into the world of knives, the outdoors, and the gear that is used. Now living in Illinois, he uses his experiences and interests to write about emergency preparedness techniques, survival situations, and gear reviews.
