4No nonsense advice  Aug 24, 2009
Like other reviewers have pointed out, this is a very good, practical survival guide. I purchased this along with two books buy Cody Lundin and all were good. This guide is more of a straight forward reference guide where Lundin's books are a bit more light-hearted and meant to be read from beginning to end. Both methods work and the author puts everything in easy to understand terms and format. You can tell that he knows his stuff and that's comforting to know. The advice is also presented in a to-the-point style that leaves no misunderstandings.
This is a very good book for the outdoorsman/camping enthusiast.

5A True Classic!!  Aug 17, 2009
If you are only going to have one survival handbook... make this it. I have a little collection of survival books now and this one is a must. No book has everything, but this one is pretty comprehensive and a terrific place to start. I refer to this book often. Survivalists and bushcraftsmen alike consider this a classic and Lofty a pioneer of this genre.

5Best survival book ever  Aug 10, 2009
The SAS survival book is probably the best survival book I have ever come across. I highly recommend everyone getting a copy.

I know a few people who tend to be survival nuts and so I get regular talks on how a family of 4 can generally live nicely off rodents, pets, and local vegetation in a 2 mile radius of their home with nothing more than pocket lint and the clothes off your back. I'm not that nuts...(and this comes from a guy who took his family camping... for 3 months. FYI- Wife and children loved it.)

I ended up getting this book for one of the guys I know, and stupid me, I started reading it. Turned out to be probably the best book I have ever seen on the subject. Very comprehensive. No single book will tell you everything but this book tells you a lot of what you need to know to survive. I recommend getting at least one copy for your survival bag.

There will always be more to know about how to live "wtshtf". A lot depends on where you live. The best way to know how to take care of yourself and your family is to get a copy of this book, read it through, and start trying it out where you live.

4Survival  May 23, 2009
The focus of this book is about short term survival. It does focus on living off the land, the mental aspects, tools and survival tactics, but mostly in the light of surviving an accident or disaster when help is on the way. Conditioning yourself to live long enough for help to arrive.

It made me realize how bad things would be if help wasn't on the way and how ill prepared we are in the event of massive disaster or something changing the entire planet.

You can't take people used to running water, sanitation, cell phones, the Internet, grocery stores, cars, and whatever else and toss them out there and expect them to live beyond being a scavenger.

It's a good read, but there are updated versions of this book now available.

5Love the Book  Apr 20, 2009
