Not as expected By BigMike55 I looked long and hard for a good survival tips book, hoping to get one that gave me detailed instructions on various topics like shelter construction, water gathering, etc. This book covers those topics, but at a very high level, with hand drawn pictures that give you little insight into how to actually do or build some of the items discussed. Lots of quotes from SAS folks like "Reserve your matches for starting properly prepared fires, not for lighting cigarettes.." (seriously, that was one of the tips). As a general overview of survival things you would want to think about or be aware of, it was OK, but if you were lost in 20 degree weather with a knife, a jacket, a bottle of water and this book, you would probably be SOL. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Straightforward, well-organized, comprehensive yet concise By Chris K. Ferrell I'll cut to the chase: I purchased three different books about outdoor survival; this is the one that I'll be carrying in my personal backpack to help me get out of any bad situations that I encounter.Words are pretty much limited to instructions, and there is an illustrative picture for every scenario; just what I want if, God forbid, I'm thrust into a survival situation.Not 5 stars because the illustrations are not in color and because its thicker and heavier than one would want to carry on an ultra-light hike. But it covers SO MANY scenarios that a lighter book would have required a sacrifice of content. At least the book is compact and printed on quality stock that won't fall apart the first time the book gets rained on.A very good value that serves its purpose well. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Great Survival Guide for all By Pluto I ordered this book for my grandson, who likes to be outdoors and is interested in all kinds of things. He and his father really loved this book. So did everyone else in the family. To be truthful it has a lot more information than anything we had gotten from our Scouting days, Explorer's etc. I would definity recommend it to any one who wants to learn about survival outdoors where ever. This is about food, how to make shelters or look for natural kind, how to fix and capture food, weapons, etc, plus first aid. and self defense. Terrific, need I say more?
