Whether we’re focused on the apocalypse or just an ill-timed breakdown on the side of a particularly remote road, there’s something about imagining survival scenarios that can be addictive. On some level, we all wonder if we would have what it takes to pit ourselves against the worst the world can possibly offer and make it out alive. That’s why it’s no surprise that survival literature is so popular, and that the stories in the genre are so diverse.

Engaging and Useful

There was a lot of useful info in the book, including some I'd never heard of. The writing shines, though, given the topic, and is engaging enough (unlike Army FMs) to hold a younger reader's interest.

great for the basics

I recently reviewed the second book Advanced Bushcraft and I love that one as well. I learned a lot more than I thought I would from reading a book by a guy I saw on Discovery Channel who was supposed to know a lot about survival. You never know what you're going to get. but it didn't take long to figure out this guy's the real deal. I've been reading survival books for 20 years and with good ones like this you always learn a few things you had never thought of which always helps to go into the storage data of the Mind.

A great guide

Very informative, but better to have the written guide as an available resource instead of the audio. Very technical step by step. Excellent.
