5 out of 5 stars a must have   August 9, 2008
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.


1 out of 5 stars Not as Good as the Army Survival Manual   August 6, 2008

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


5 out of 5 stars Good Stuff!   August 1, 2008
I'm not an "outdoor guy" but I travel frequently in South Asia so I thought its a good idea to learn basic survival skills. So for my needs this book is over and beyond what I require. It was a thoroughly enjoyable read as well. I'm sure even pro's can learn a thing or two here. Well done Mr.Wiseman!


5 out of 5 stars good book   July 16, 2008

5 out of 5 stars Excellent survival handbook   June 18, 2008
Excellent survival handbook. It is very well written and has illustrations for everything that is taught, plus it comes the British SAS, a source that has been using these techniques for a long time. It provides extensive information on subjects that are critical and brief overviews of subjects that are unessential. You can use this handbook whether you plan to use it in a single climate type or in multiple climates. I use this book for my deployment in Iraq, I recommend this book.
