I don't understand the rave reviews on this book. For one, it tries to do too many things (badly) instead of concentrating on solid wilderness survival. I wanted to like it, but it has inconcistincies all over. It tries to cover (very badly...main advice "wear protective gear full body") even chemical attacks, flood, drought, etc. (where's the section on locust, and frogs?)
Seriously, they oversimplify complex things, that in my opinion have ZERO chance of working in the field (bolero? throwing stick?) and terrible illustrations that don't illustrate. Spear launcher, sheesh. a guy would die out there trying these things.
It is incomplete in it's advice (snares...you gotta know how to get your scent off of it) he should have written a whole chapter on snares, but explained in detail the theory, what you can expect to catch, simple but well explained snare types (keep it down to a few, but explain them well) and skinning instructions.
Seriously, this book is dangerously lacking in the right kind of information.
Plus instead of logically splitting up all info (like WATER...explain the basics common to all needs, but in the same chapter explain differences in arid, temperate, arctic, etc.)
For me it was a total waste of money.
I guess I could use it for kindling, or fire starting.

If you ever wanted to know ANYTHING about survival in the wilderness, it's in here. There's so much info in here, though, you might have to spend a few minutes finding it. One of the definitive books in the field.

Every time I open this book, I'm amazed at how much information is packed in the 570 pages. Covers everything you need to know, plus some. A great buy, at a great price.

Good title but that is about it for this book, compared to the U.S. Military.
