About the Author
Nick Weston specialised in Hunter-gatherer Studies and the Mesolithic as part of his Archaeology degree. On completion, he was selected by Channel 4 to be the Survival Expert for Shipwrecked , which involved spending three months in the Cook Islands teaching the islanders how to build shelters, hunt and gather food. When he returned, he built a treehouse and lived off the land for six months. A book about his experiences, The Treehouse Diaries, was published in 2010. Since then, he has written for numerous publications and set up a successful company, Hunter Gather Cook, which is a school for foraging, butchery, cooking and bushcraft. He lives in East Sussex, UK.
