Dale Martin

Dale Martin grew up in the piney woods of East Texas during the 1950's and 60's. Outdoor skills became a natural by product of many days and hours spent in the field. While in college earning a business degree, Dale enhanced those skills by taking several courses in primitive anthropology. Later, Dale spent a number of years researching both primal and modern survival skills and techniques. Dale developed skills regarding snares, traps, firearm silencer design, military history, and other "off the beaten path" disciplines. In 1987, Dale wrote TRAPPER'S BIBLE, and followed that up with INTO THE PRIMITIVE in 1989. In 2001, Dale was contacted by NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC and asked to write an article about deadfalls. In 2007, Dale was contacted by THE HISTORY CHANNEL for his input into one of their MODERN MARVELS segments. In April of 2011, Dale published EVERYMAN'S GUIDE TO OUTDOOR SURVIVAL. He is also the author of the science fiction novel SAFARI WORLD as well as the historical civil war narrative THE SHOT. He is co-author (with many others) of the compilation book EVEN MORE DANGEROUSLY FUN STUFF (FOR LITTLE BOYS WHO NEVER GREW UP).
