Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - More practical in most extreme situations and environments
Many diagrams and step-by-step instructions for what to do in different situations. This book is probably more useful for the more adventurous type folks, frequent outdoor campers and hikers. About 1/10 of the information in the book can be used for everyday emergencies, like how to carry someone safely over your shoulder. The rest of the book covers things like how to make a raft, making ropes for capturing small animals, and making arrows are fun to read but only useful if you purposely put yourself in that kind of environment. Basically this book targets the die-hards of jungle exploration, mountain climbing, and cross-country camping. Might be useful if you have this book on the plane when it crashes, that's assuming that you're close to land and able to swim to it, because most pilots will do their best to land in water.
