 Wonderful If you like survival like me then this is the book for you. at first i thought it would be bad becuase it was so long but it was the best book i ever read.  Considered the Wilderness Survival Bible but... Very dry reading, most topics are not covered in detail, very general direction/instruction is given. Seriously, the book covers way to much for a novice. Survival experts might find this book useful because it can give them refresher training, however, for example, the fire bow section is less than half a page. This can be misleading for a novice who might think it is just that simple. Do not buy this book if you are a novice unless you have other books to learn from first. Try everything you want to learn at home, before setting out into the bush. Make a fire in your backyard using the fire bow first, then try it in the bush with a lighter in your pocket! Good if you are not in a megalopolis I think this book is very good for certain situations, but I feel that it does not meet the needs of most average folks in case of major catastrophy. I would recommend Ron Foster's practical guide for all scenarios. Since he works in the field of emergency response, he has the most up to date and useful methods of urban and rural survival. If you seriously want to learn more than "how to live off the land" short term, I would highly recommend Mr. Foster's publication, "The Rural Ranger: A Suburban Manual & Field Guide of Traps and Snares for Food and Survival". I know how to live off the land if one can even get to such a ideal location, but hunger, thirst and the elements will wear out the millions of people trying to vacate their huge cities all at once. This book gives one a fighting chance no matter what your skills are or where you live. Seriously, David Highum Amazing survival book - Incredable - Can't stop reading it! This book is gold. If you decide to donate money to homeless people STOP. Donate this book instead. They will be able to live forever with the helpful survival tips in this book. It sits on my coffee table and has been a talking point with everyone who sees it. It has everything in it - including 'Emergency Child Birth in the Bush'. The trapping and food sections are amazing. This book was everything and much more than I thought it would be. Easily the best few dollars I ever spent on a book. Thanks to the sling traps I have no more stray cats claiming my yard as their own! Then using this book I was able to skin, prepare and cook these cats. I was also able to discard the offal that was not nutrient dense. Note: No cats have really been caught or cooked yet - but I could if I wanted to. | |||||||||||||
