Survival Bible, need I say more???
Ok, I will say more... This is like the bible of survival! It doesn't show you one thing about anything, it shows several examples of different styles about how to do everything! It includes color pictures that are extremely detailed and easy to recognize for plant life, marine life, insects, reptiles, ect. It includes different sections for different situations like marine survival, urban survival, natural disasters, home security, ect. It's very informative, not embellishing anything, straight to the point. I can't scratch the surface of what is in this book without writing a book about this book and I wouldn't want to ruin the great treat you get from reading it so I'll leave it to you to enjoy the gems found in it. If you are new to the survival or prepper culture , this book will make you an expert in no time!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good basic survival handbook.
It's a good basic survival book packed with good basic information. My respect to the author and the SAS. I think the book is very helpful and overall thorough, however, I wish it had been better redacted and more detailed in many aspects. I know covering everything in more informative detail is literally impossible, but the book could use some improvement nonetheless. In spite of the minor lack of detail, I'd highly recommend this book, especially if you have no prior experience in survival or survival training.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The last survival book you'll ever need
This book is incredible. It covers a reasonable amount of information about a wide variety of situations and scenarios. If I was stranded and could only have one book this would have to be it. The diagrams and pictures make some of the more difficult stuff easily understood. The wording is simple and very easy to understand. There is a reason the is a world wide best selling book. We love it and you will too.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Book Full of Information
I found this book to be very full of useful information and is well worth having. However, the new chapter on urban survival seemed to be specifically written for general survival in the UK as the reader will soon find out. Other than that, I would recommend it as a good reference book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

GREAT Info - glad I bought full sized book and not the pocket size version.
This book is very thorough. I'm glad I bought the full sized book, as the print is small. I can't imagine having the pocket sized version... with even smaller print. Luckily I read reviews on the pocket size book and had a heads up that the print was too small to read. I keep this book in my car, in case I come across an emergency while on the road... so I will be able to handle the situation. BUY it for sure!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

SAS SURVIVAL HANDBOOK - 3rd ADDITION well worth owning.
I find this book to be an excellent addition to my collection. The "Urban Survival" information is an added bonus, that is often overlooked in other survival type books. And when you think about it, the majority of people live in urban environments. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their knowledge, and libraries.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

SAS Survival Handbook
Excellent reference source. It goes a little too basic in some areas, but that is probably to cover those that don't have a clue. It would be a good thing if there were an option to purchase the book that is made from plastic impregnated paper. I can see me leaving the book outside and my being many miles away when it starts raining. Or dumping a cup of coffee on it. It is a very good source of information.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Survival Lilly recommends this reference book.
I sought out this book because it was recommended by Survival Lilly (on YouTube). She's a straight shooter about all of the equipment and the knowledge she passes on. The author is absolutely an AUTHORITY on the subject.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
