  • As advertised.

    Over all it's a great book. The subjects are ok. It gives very general and brief introductions to specific subjects. It seems to me that the author may have written it as away to maybe secure a TV series. It written like that. Like what would fit in 15 minutes of subject matter in a commercial survival show.

  • Change "good" in title to "excellent". Add the words "beginners guide" and you should be well set

    An excellent outdoor guide to Wilderness Survival. I wish there had been a book like this when I was working on my Wilderness Survival merit badge when I was in Scouting. This guide goes well above any information available that the Boy Scouts have. I'd recommend it as an excellent book on the subject. Get it and put it in your vehicle, daypack, backpack or even just carry it around with you in your rear pocket. I'd buy it again.

  • Good beginners guide

    If you are new to bushcraft and survival, this is a good beginners guide. Many basic survival skills are covered. Not very illustrated if you like pictures. If you are a seasoned survivalist then you should probably just move along.

  • Good basic tool for survival information.

    Well written, good advice given and very informative. The only drawback is the lack of several images. Other than that, it was well worth the money and information.

    Great book, I was a little surprised that it wasn't full 8 1/2x11, but rapidly realized this was better as you can put it in a pocket or bag more easily.
