Pdf would have been nice

There were charts and lists that would have been great in a supplemental pdf. Overall, great general advice on survival, but don’t think you’ll be able use any of it without some hands on training. I about couldn’t stand the narrator. His voice was grating, until the credits at the end, and i really wonder why he didn’t just use his real voice instead of making me want to clear my throat the whole time.

Great content, brutal to get through the narration

Solid content, more detailed than some other books of this kind, particularly in the first aide/medical section. With respect, I personally had a hard time with the narrators voice, it reminds me of Froggy from the Little Rascals, so it was comical at times, almost annoying at others. I did know what I was getting into as I always listen to the sample before buying, but a minute sample vs an entire book taught me a good lesson.

Good, but a bit too anti-theory

While the content is valuable, he does rant against survival "theories" and suggest "his" take on various things. It's fine to question "theories", but then you should have a stronger case than "this is my experience".

Incesible information, narration almost ruins it.

I found the information in this book to be absolutely amazing. I love how Hawke clearly states that this is for the “everyman” not the trained professional. I absolutely loved the book and am going through for the second time. Maybe I had gotten spoiled by a few good narrators that this was almost frustrating at times. Nonetheless, the information was just what I was looking for and one of the best I’ve listened to so far.

Great info. Horrible narration

I really enjoyed the information contained in this book.
I certainly agree with most of the other reviews. The narrator needs to find different line of work. He needs to learn proper pronunciation of acronyms. Captured American service personnel ate P.O.Ws not pows. And others. Made me want to slap him.
Capt. Hawke. Narrate the book yourself or at least find someone better and reissue the audiobook. I find it hard to believe the publisher allowed this and charge for this horrible reading.
