I am familiar with this book and it a good addition to the library of anyone interested in survival.
That being said, the best survival book in the world won't help you if all you have done is look at it. Most survival skills must be practiced so when they are needed they are second nature in your response. Simple things like firestarting for example, or building a shelter from scratch, making traps for animals, knowing the theory on how to do it will be of poor use in a crisis if you haven't actually done it. In most survival scenarios, you won't have time to get your book out to see what you need to do.
I know I probably sound like a broken record, (I realize that statement alone dates me as being an old fart) but it really is important to practice these skills in a safe, non-threatening environment. Once you figure out how to do it under no stress, it is MUCH easier in a stress filled scenario.
I gotta have this book for sure.
Sweet Book
This is a good book. Lots of detail, great for reference too. Another good book is from Les Stroud (Survivorman)ISBN-10: 0061373516. I highly recommend this book.
This sounds like a great book i think i might get one.
Excellent book but you need to work at it before you need it. excellent ideals. good information.
