101 Skills You Need to Survive in the Woods

The Most Effective Wilderness Know-How on Fire-Making, Knife Work, Navigation, Shelter, Food and More

By: Kevin Estela

Narrated by: Matthew Boston

"Feeder" mindset means being in control of a situation, proactive rather than reactive. It is an optimistic outlook that reframes any situation as a learning experience. Kevin Estela teaches survival skills from this feeder-based perspective, which is what separates his teaching style from other wilderness instructors.

Kevin has written the quintessential guide for an outdoor enthusiast's "bucket list" of skills - how to make a fire, build a shelter, gather food, find water, use a knife correctly, and make cordage. These skills will keep you safe and better prepare you to deal with emergencies in the field, when you'll need the additional skills of signaling and communication, navigation, and crisis first aid taught in this book.

Each chapter concludes with more advanced techniques to build your skills in various challenging situations, with tips that even seasoned survival enthusiasts haven't thought of.

101 Skills You Need to Survive in the Woods is a lifetime reference you will turn to over and over again. It will become the first thing you pack for any adventure and just might save your - or someone else's - life.

good insight

I love to learn and while I am not a survivalist I believe in having the store of knowledge on a variety of things. I found this book to be educational and easy to understand. a visual guide will be helpful when trying to do the knots and trapping but the audio is a great way to retain information! I would recommend.

Good list of skills - probably better to have the real book than listen to it.

Good book for the book shelf, no real story. Not as good for just a listen on audible.

Good information and ideas

This had good ideas and suggestions but always use many more sources of information and most of all trust your gut when making decisions

All great skills

101 great survival skills. I was a little skeptical about a skills audiobook but everything is well described so it is possible to visualize the actions of the skills.

Well detailed information

A lot of information in this book, even as an audiobook it was very well explained

Light your 🔥 fire

This book is particularly good in the areas of map and compass use and fire starting.

good

this is a good book for sure. I may recommend it. To be honest I want to try a few others as well.

spends ages talking about how awesome he is.

No one is as in love with themselves as this guy... he just goes on and on. endless drivel, no one cares.

no help

does not teach anything just tells you what you should know! says to learn at local facilities.

Terrible Perfomance.

The narrator for this audiobook sounds like a robot which makes it very difficult to listen to.
