Customer Rating: Summary: "Comprehensive" doesn't begin to describe this book Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: a must have Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Not as Good as the Army Survival Manual Comment: Good title but that is about it for this book, compared to the U.S. Military. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Stuff! Comment: 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!
