Summary: An essential for outdoor enthusiasts
Comment: This book was excellent at highlighting the need for good preparation and being forearmed with knowledge. Its a great collection of knowledge and experience that applies across most situations and locations.

The format makes for easy reading and reference and the diagrams are easy to follow. It covers all the essentials of navigation, food and water (even sources of salt), game trapping and hunting (inclusive of simple weapons). The author's approach of stressing the importance of good preparation and the manitainance of a "will to live" set the perfect tone for getting into the basics of survival.

Overall, a great buy. Scope for improvement: Make this into a smaller, hardcover or leatherbound, waterproof edition that will easily fit into any camper's bag or outdoor excursion package for quick and easy reference.

Summary: Excellent Survival Information
Comment: This book provides great instruction on surviving crisis situations. It is not a "gear" book and does not attempt to sell products like some books. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to be able to provide life saving action for themselves or their family.

Summary: Fantastic survival book
Comment: You know the saying when you stop looking for something you then find what you are looking for. I purchased this book with the mangnesium firestarter. I thought what the heck another surival book but at least i get a deal on the firestarter. After i opened this book i quickly forgot all about the firestarter. I was amazed at the greatness of this book. I can't say enough here about it you have to see it to believe it. I own about a dozen survival book and this is the best of the best. Actuall colored photos on edible and not edible plant, color photos on posinious snakes as well. The section on traps and shelters is top notch. Knot tying is also a great section. This book has rekindled my desire to grab my knife and go test myself in the wilds.
simply superb
